Stupid question...how do I package these to send? :D Do I put them in individual little tubes/boxes, or just one big package and let you sort them out? (See, I have horrible images of JJ submitting pictures of his hands, covered with 100 flies, all stuck through at least 2 layers of skin, and blood dripping...no, wait...that would be me doing it! But still...) I would like to do them individually, just to avoid anything unfortunate happening, but I don't know what you expect! (I am smarter than a 5th grader, believe it or not!)

I can bring home the trout...fry it up in a pan...and never let you forget I caught it! 'Cause I'm a woman!

Tami this is what I do. I use an altoid tin to keep the bugs from being crushed in the mail. I print out a toe tag with my name, fly name, and recipe and attach the fly hook through the paper. Pack them all in the tin and mail it. There are other ways of doing it. With small nymphs I just attach the hook with a small piece of tape to the toe tag. Since these will have hackle I would just stick the hook through a portion of the tag. Its less likely the hackle will get crushed that way.

One of the first things to go is the memory MrsDucky, so while I was thinking about it I thought I better do it... -_-

Glad you all are getting these done. I haven't tied a fly in at least a week. I have however been eating a few crappie. Caught in a friends lake while kicked back in a lawn chair drinking cold "draft" beer using fresh caught minners under a slide bobber :lol::lol:

Will up date the first list as soon as your contributions arrive.

Thanks all,

JJ
