Going Tiny Swap

[Bamboo10]

Put me in for some extended body BWO parachutes size 20.

Got to keep this fairly simple since I've never tied "tiny". According to the guys in a fly shop on the eastern Sierra this is the hot fly in the right size. I'll be doing a "Zebra Midge Emerger" in a #20.

Another update; we're at 11 tyers now; only space for one more.

Here's the roster and the patterns, as I have them at this point:

Futuramille - TBD
Joni - TBD
Bamboo10 - BWI para extended body, #20
Jimmie - Zebra MIdge Emerger, #20
Pocono - Griffith Gnat variant, #22
BlueDun - TBD
FISHN50 - TBD
tob1 - TBD
Greenwood - BWO wet, #20
Kerry Pitt - TBD
BlueBird - TBD

Are we going to see any hook sizes below #22; I hope so because I know that some of you can tie them well.

At my current age it is more, seeing the hook than tying on it. I have some 28's I could try something on that size range. I'll let you know tomorrow, for sure. I'll tell you this sitting around waiting for surgery, taking drugs so I can stay functional sucks!!! I woke up just before I made this post at 0330hrs. and this was the first thing on my mind. I'm loosin' it I tell ya!

I know I'm new here, but I was just tying up some size 26 grizzly midge parachutes for tomorrow. if there is still room I can tie up some more for the swap.

[futuramille]

I've decided on a #24 BH GRHE Nymph. I landed 1 brown and 2 bows with it and besides two browns on a "pheasant tail nymph" in the same size, they are the only two ties of that size I have proven to myself will work. Probably the local as the fish were biting GRHE's from size 16 - 24.

We're full up!

Here's another update on the roster and patterns for you all:

Futuramille - BH GRHE Nymph, #24
Joni - TBD
Bamboo10 - BWI para extended body, #20
Jimmie - Zebra Midge emerger, #20
Pocono - Griffith Gnat variant, #22
BlueDun - TBD
FISHN50 - TBD
tob1 - TBD
Greenwood - BWO wet, #20
Kerry Pitt - TBD
BlueBird - TBD

Now it's time to start thinking about tying them up. Keep posting to let everyone know how you're coming along.

Thanks everyone for signing up. This swap is going to be challenging, and fun!

I think I will go for a paraloop midge in size 24 or smaller.



Trygve

[Pocono]

That's a really nice looking fly Trygve. I've never seen a paraloop tie before. I like it; looks really buggy to me. How about a little pictorial "how to tie" on that one(?)

I'll put your pattern in the roster.
