Sounds good marc.

This is my first time hosting, and FFNJ explains it pretty well, so I'll steal his words...

Flies will be returned in the containers they were mailed in, if possible. Please write your name on your container- If you don’t I will. Keep in mind that the other flies may be larger than yours, so make your container large enough to handle that possibility. Please include a stamped return envelope. Whatever it costs to mail to me, it will cost me at least that to return, so match the postage. To the guys that are doing this for the first time- do not send them in an expensive fly box. I have had flies get lost in the mail in the past. The best type of container is an Altoid tin or something similar. Fly boxes tend to be a little too bulky and usually cost more to ship.

The altoid boxes work great for small flies, but something a little bigger would probably suit these better. One of those cheap art and crafts plastic containers has done well for bigger flies in past swaps.
 
Need to audible my second pattern. Hollow fleyes are done. I will be tying an olive over white clouser minnow. Boring and not exciting, but has caught fish for me.
 
My Bmgs are done now I have to start on my rain baits
 
Flies will be in the mail tomorrow or Friday.

Done. When I'm sending them just putting them in a big envelop is cool.

Yep an envelope should work fine, as long as you include a spare or something so I can send them back.
 
All my flies are done will ship out tomorrow . I just ran out of CCG on the last fly was cutting close and getting worried . I hope you guys enjoy the bmg is a big bass killer and the anchovy well you will have to see for yourself 😛
