Default Midge Swap Update

I drank a little too much beer last night to think about being organized, so
I'm posting this today. It looks like October 31 is the deadline and there's
6 or 7 people interested so far. Thats probably enough since we'll be tying
3 flies for each participant instead of one. For the mathematically
challenged, this means if 7 people are in, you'll tie 21 of the same pattern
so each person gets three of each pattern. Of course, you'd then get a set
of your own flies back but what the hell, we'll send the extras to those
starving kids in Maine. Give them a fish and they'll eat for a day, teach
them to midge fish and they'll die in frustration ;)
If you're definitely in, e-mail me at mmccray at adelphia.net .
I'll keep everyone updated as we near the deadline and will announce who's
tying what as I find out. I'm tying a sz 28 cdc pattern that doesn't have a
name but it's designed to stay afloat and be easy to see. Or, maybe a really
small comparadun. Still haven't decided but they will definitely be 28's...

Is this gig still on or what?

There's plenty of other bugs I could be tying....

My bugs are ready to go. If Matt's schedule has gotten too busy I'd be more
than happy to receive and distribute the flies. There's not a whole lot on
my plate for the next couple of weeks, and I think the experience would be
fun. Just let me know...

Cheers,
Bill

I haven't gotten started. I've been shooting pheasants, or trying to,
in NE Montana the last few days and will be out of town next week on
business. I'll get them done. I will tie some during Yanks-Sox game 7
tonight. Then again, I should probably not be messing with sharp
instruments tonight.

Where do we send them to? And how many?
