I might need a couple of extra days. I have to gear up for a few trips to the green right now, but I'm definately still in. What was everybody tying again? I was going to do a Biot bodied PMD.

Sorry if anyone thought the swap was cancelled. I had hoped for more interest, but really appreciate those that signed up.
The list of tiers and flies is below:
Rng Spec; Spun Parachute Damsel
Ollie; Parachute Blue Wing Olive
Conehead; PMD, quill body parachute
Cheech; Biot PMD parachute
Jason; PMD Biot Body Parachute Emerger
Elk Hair; Parachute hairs ear
Everyone needs to send 6 flies.
I will send a full set back out once I have received them all.
If anyone can not complete the swap let me know.
If I need to I will return any extra flies to there tier.
And if anyone needs the address to mail them to let me know.
I emailed everyone last week with it, but you never know.
Remember to send them in a crush proof container, with a self addressed, stamped return envelope and a little extra postage.
Just in case the return package is heavier than the original.
Thanks again for the interest, if anyone needs more time, we can swing it.

Received Ollie's flies on Monday. Very Cool!! Can we say small. What are they on a #18? I haven't tied a parachute that little before. I really need to come up to one of the tying clubs, for pointers.
Looking for Conehead, Cheech, and Elk Hairs.
Thanks

Yep, they're 18's. I wish I would have read the post about how to avoid tying the hackle fibers into the eye of the hook before I tied them. But, I cleaned them up allright and they will still catch fish. Sorry I forgot to send you the recipe, so here it is:
Tail: Light Dun Microfibets
Body: Grayish-Olive fine dubbing (make sure it's more gray than olive, and wrap the body so it's very slender)
Wing: Dyed olive grizzly hackle (Whiting 100's work great)
Parachute: White CDC, trimmed to length
I look forward to seeing the others.
Fish On!

I have only received Jason and Ollies flies. I have tried to email everyone and get an update on where everyone else is at. But my private messaging has been disabled. Any solutions Jason?? As soon as I hear from Cheech, Elk hair, and Conehead. I will be in touch with everyone again. Watch the tier list for updates on receivals.

I have been on the road constantly. I hate Chicago. I will take my stuff so I can tie some of those PMDs. I'll try to get them to you ASAP.

I've been doing the Little League Baseball thing for forever. Our season is over this week. I'll get them to you ASAP. Could you send me your address once more? I seemed to have deleted it.
