I hate to do this to you guys....but I'm going with another stimi-chew toy (kind of a shiny olive) . I tried to work on a couple of different foam patterns and everything came out looking like crap    ...I'd rather throw in a decent stimi than some shitty foam fly tie. Probably going with a greenish version of the rainbow warrior to match the stimi.  Dries are done....will be hitting the droppers this evening.Hope to mail them out by the weekend.  -0- -0- -0-

Mine are done too. Since I've never done this before, how do you recommend I package them so they don't get crushed?

1. place your flies in a small plastic container, like the one you get at a fly shop.. Altiod tin, or a small fly  box (it will be returned to you with your swap flies)

2. enclose a SASE (Self Addressed Stamped Envelope, 4 first class stamps will cover it.) I use the padded bubble wrap ones ( I recycle one that I get )

3. stuff 1 & 2 into another envelope and mail it to Big J


not my photo, but a good example found using BING, i'm boycotting google!

Good description WB.  And out of curiosity, why you boycotting google?  Haven't been keeping up with the news lately and wondering if I've missed something.
