Actually, I'm serious.  If somebody send me one of each and the name of who tied them, I would photo, and put a recipe and post on site somewhere.

For those of you (like me) who were a little slow on the keyboard and didn't get to participate in the midge swap (cry, cry or at least that's the accusation) I was able to abscond with a set of the flies.  For your edification and entertainment, please enjoy.  Boy some of those buggers were tiny?  Impressive group of flies guys!  Taken with my new camera, with no post processing.

I love 'em all, but esp.  #'s 1, 5, 9, 11, & 13...

Thanks for taking the pictures. I started to take a set, but I quit after a fly went zinging out of the vice as I adjusted it! Never did find that fly. Good job tyers.

LOL That only happened 4 or 5 times with the tweezers I was using.  Luckily for Grumpy I was somehow able to find them all!
