Chironomid Swap - flygoddess - 03-07-2011
Anyone interested? Just a few rules
1. Include a couple of dollars or a self addressed stamp envelope with your flies.
2. Limited to 12 people/tiers on this one
3. Try to make this a fast turn around. Due date maybe two weeks.
Swap: Stillwater Chironomids. What this means is stillwater are a little bigger. We are talking #10 to #14.
Tie 12 of the same fly, put a toe tag or attach to a piece of paper, with your name and the name you use on the site.
Lets see if I can get 11 more to join, then I will pm an address in which to send and the due date.
Who's up to this one?

With everyone tying 12, I would like to keep that #12, (the one that usually goes BACK to the original tier) .
I will put them in a box and raffle them at the Wasatch fly tying expo if that is cool? In fact, anyone want to add more flies to this cause, send them along.

Someone want to teach me how to tie some fancy chronomids so I can join the next swap?
If you plan a fly tying party anywhere close to Utah County, I would go and gladly tie 12 flies for a swap. I need to watch how the pros do it.
Just getting into Chronomid fishing and paying $1.50 for decent flies is starting to get old.

They really are pretty easy. These are a couple of the sites I like because of their easy to follow and very comprehensive tutorials. Charlies is a great site. He lists all of the materials used in any of the flies and also carries all of the materials listed, if you don't mind ordering online.
