The pictures don't do justice. These are very nice flies!
I am sending everyone a slip indicator and a small container to hold the chironomids ;-)

Thanks everyone! I love these! Special thanks to Bear and Poc for the bonus flies

I am also sending one of everyones to Blue Dun for the recovery flies.

[arfishinbear]

wow thanks.
Casting for recovery sounds like a great thing and I am glad we all can help them with flies. I have a box about readyto send her myself from the last two swaps and other stuff.

KRD, a good friend of mine fishes the lower Provo all the time. He showed me the go to fly last weekend, and it is exactly like the one you tied!
Can you give us a recipe?

[doc]

I'm looking forward to giving these a go at my favorite local stillwater. I'll let you know how they do. Nice ties folks.

Cheers,
Doc

Those are awesome. That took a lot of work not only for the ties but putting all of the pictures and recipes on the forum. As an out side observer I really appreciate the hard work and sharing. This was as enjoyable as it gets for one not involved in the swap.
