Default Fly Swap

I think it's time for another one of these, open to anyone who wants to take part, however 10 people seems to be a reasonable number to work with. I'll leave the choice of fly you wish to tie down to you, however if you can let everyone know what you plan on doing that should hopefully prevent any duplication. Lets say the closing date for signing up is the 22/04/2011 and aim to get everything tied up etc by the 06/05/2011.

Update: As there are now 11 people taking part

Each person to tie 11 flies of the pattern of their chosing, the 11th pattern will be auctioned off as collection to raise money for Help for Heroes.

1) ChirpyAphid - Daddy Snatcher Size 10 - Ready To Go
2) flytier07 - Griffiths Gnat but with cdc as the hackle Size 16/18 (TBD) - Arrived
3) blithfield2 - Grey Duster Dry fly sizes 14,16,18 - Arrived
4) christy27 - Black Gnat Paraloop - Arrived
5) burhan - skinny dry hair ear

Hi Peter, What a smashing idea! How about the dry fly that seems to be doing well right now with midge hatches going down-the Griffiths Gnat but with cdc as the hackle. Hook size about 16-18?
