lol, im in the middle of another swap size 24 and smaller, woo hoo

[Marc Martyn]

Matching the midge hatch, are you?:cyclopsan

[Mike Carey]

24??? man I am jealous. the old eyes just can't do it. You must have one of those fancy fly-tying desks with a lighted magnifying lens thingy do-job. yup.

[Marc Martyn]

If you still need another tier to make 11, I have one who will join in and also register as a new member:cheers: We are getting together this afternoon and get him registered. Updates coming...........

[Mike Carey]

Cool. I am supplying 12 plastic fly boxes with label commemorating this first ever WL.com fly tying event. So if you haven't sent your flies in, could you please send a little extra postage to Mark when you mail the flies? I think $2-3 dollars will cover it and WL.com will chip in some money for mailing as well.

[beresford13861]

please package your flys in bubble wrap. or something i can toss apon arrival, WL.com is donating fly boxes!!! you will get one with your flys in return.

toss in a extra few bucks to cover postage!

I am David Hall, Marc Martyn just got me hooked into the tying event. i will be tying a "lightning bug", nymph pattern, extremely effective in these parts, (Eastern Wash. and Northern Idaho, Western Montana) streams and lakes. But I am sure it would be effective anywhere!

I am David Hall, Marc Martyn got me hooked in for the fly tie event. I will tie a "lightning bug", very effective in
(Eastern Washington, Idaho, and Western Montana) lakes and streams. But I am sure this fly will be effective almost anywhere. Looking forward to seeing other favorites.

[Marc Martyn]

Dave-

Well, since you live across the street from me I will keep it short......

Welcome to Washingtonlake.com!

Now, get tying!:rambo:

Com'on man, Mike and I will probably think that it is just dust in the package and throw it away! Can you make it at least a #6 so we can identify it as a fly?!:cyclopsan

[beresford13861]

OK, i purchased some bubble mailers.

i have bubble mailers and WL.com is donating fly boxes.

what ever you send them to me in will NOT be returned.

only problem i see will be tagging the flys so everyone knows whos is whos.
remember the "toe tag"? we should be able to figure it out, theres only a dozen :thumleft:

welcome to the Boards!!! glad to see you hooked LOL

[Mike Carey]

yes, I was thinking of that issue. The box probably won't have enough room for twelve toe tags. Not to cause more work for you beresford, but one suggestion would be to line up all the flys on a sheet of paper with the tags under them and take a digital picture, then print it out twelve times. But I don't think it will be an issue as the tags will tell what the fly is made of so we should be able to figure it out.

[Marc Martyn]

:bball: I'll bounce this off you guys-

When you mentioned toe tags, I didn't envision an actual toe-tag.

This is what I was going to do for mine:

Print up twelve, cut them into strips and hook on the bend of the hook. Actually the e-mail address is not needed since it is coming from a site member. They can email the person through the site and get the tying instructions from the creator.
