FLY SWAP

When you send the flies in, send along a self addressed and stamped envelope so they can be returned to you. I think that's about it......

Oh are we doing mystery flies this year too?

When do we determine how many (who's In)?
Cut-off date for head count?
What is the address to send them to?
Any money with the flys to cover postage?

Thanks!

Hey Scout,

We should determine soon.....but it's up to the swapmaster. I'd say we should get at least 6. Depending on what everyone wants to do, we could do 2 flies per head to make it a dozen.

When you go to the postoffice to send your flies, get another envelope and have it stamped there with proper postage. The swapmaster will pm you his address.

Salty, if you don't want to, I'd be happy to be the swapmaster again this year, but that's totally up to you. Thanks for participating guys, these can be fun and it's a good way to add a selection to your fly box.

Billy remember what happened last year.i prepaid with the p.o. scale postage and they wouldn't take it on the return when the flys were coming back to me.What you should do, is to p.o. scale the "to" package and see what that costs and then place regular stamps on the return package that adds up to the same and put it in the "to" package and seal.Remember your're dealing with the government.
