Read: Keep going! If you already have 25+ done BEFORE the swap is
even officially announced, there is no damn reason why you can't do
60!

Well, yeah ... except I'll probably run out of #16 hooks and
proper-sized hackle for the d*mn*d things. ;-)

Perhaps we can make it optional to be in *both* groups if that
may be the case??????? G

I admit that would be tempting, but like someone (Willi?) said, it
starts to seem like work after a couple dozen or so. Heck, if it
wasn't for the fact that I tie in my workshop with a colebeer by my
side, I'd probably have given up long ago. :-)

to where I can tie a pretty good Quigley; now I just need to go
somewhere where there's a PMD hatch)

Jan. 1 boyos.

Ummmmmm, what's the deadline for those of us not yet old enough to
fart dust and who will be out "celebrating" and probably not arrive
home until the night of the 1st or morning of the 2nd?????

Yeah, or those of us who will be in the Big Bend without net-access
until Jan. 3rd?

misses the swap)

You might try upsizing to a size 4 and tying a few to try during a hex hatch. I
had a friend that found a size 4 adams worked on Town Lake a few years ago
during a hex hatch.

Just trying to help.

Warren (looking forward to seeing you in July and should have
probably checked the FFF
I marked the date on the calander that lives in the office at my house this
morning. I have tried to get back to the Jellystone area with a fly rod at
least every 3 years since 1954 and see no reason to quit now. Expect to see me
on an old BMW motorcycle this year as I plan on going over to Seattle after the
clave...Ihave never ridden from there to San Diego before and have wanted to do
that run all of my life. I have become a bit jaded on the FFF International
Conclave as they seem to discourage those that prefer fishing for warm water
fishes.

Wow, tying a #4 *anything* would be a treat after 28 of those #16's.
:-) I've been tying parachute Adams for visibility, but even I
probably could manage to see a #4 Adams.

So, anyone want to have a flyswap that's nothing but oversize
versions of classic dries? ;-)
