jpb olive ...size 16

 

[peregrines]

Great guys, you're both in.

 

[dean_mt]

I'll get in with one of my favorite early hatches - some sort of a March Brown impersonation, #14.

 

[Joni]

My early hatch is a #30 Gray Midge? What do you think?

I'd love to see that...and try to fish it!

 

[Joni]

So is it a go?

 

[boser]

Mark, Please sign me up, I just got the catarachs removed so I need to try out the new eyes....my pattern is TBD though, sorry.

Regards, Boser

Great you're both in too-- Joni a 30 midge will be amazing!

John (Dean_MT) your March Brown will be neat to see-- i've never been out there in time to see your western version-- the March Browns here in the east are a different critter, usually size 10 or 12.

Great Mike, glad you're OK-- and now you'll be able to see Joni's size 30s!

I have been wanting to tie up some "Better Winged Olives" which use goose biot for the body. Since BWOs are an early hatch around here, and I want some for me, how about I tie some up for this swap as well.

We grow some pretty big March Browns here too, I may up it to a #12, we'll see.

 

[Joni]

I finished a dozen today, I think I better make this two dozen...LOL Two each One for the fish, and one for the bush.

 

[webrx]

I have 6 done, man are my eyes getting bad, tying in these tailing fibers is a pain even with putting a little thread dam on the back. No way I could tie on size 30 Joni. Anyway, I am half way there.....

It's a size #14 with a biot body and paraloop (or hackle stacker) style hackle. It's pretty ubiquitous fly, should fish well anywhere. I'm half done! Let's get this filled up.

 

[jpbfly]

Started tying too...half done

 

[webrx]

I gotta tie mine up and get them in the mail early, cause I guess we still use pony express from Reno to Mark if the last transit time is any indication

[jpbfly]

ready to ship....ready to fish
