Hello fellow fly swappers. Did anyone send bubble envelopes, or did most people just send a S.A.S.E. for their flies? Any input would is appreciated!

I don't bother sending mine in bubble envelopes. They are only flies. They will arrive just fine in a regular sized 10 business 4 1/8" X 9 1/2" envelope. Done many a swap and the flies always seem to make it back fine.
Hey Uplander, mine must have arrived by now. It's been over a week since I sent them.

Thanks for the update. I think I'll send a bubble envelope, as these flies are considered golden in my eyes.
Just don't get tempted to keep all of the flies yourself!

Update: I got my brother to Mail all the flies on Friday and make that post on here for me (I was Skiing hehe), It's actually 14 flies NOT 15. All should arrive fairly shortly this week. Still missing one members return envelope, Wish I knew who you were, If you don't receive your flies by Friday then you are probably the one who forgot just pm me your mailing adress and they will be sent asap.

Mine came Friday, barely came ie. There was a hole in the envelope. Luckily enough the big foam hopper plugged it up so no other flies could fall out. Thanks to the tier of the hopper for that.
Nice flies all. Can't wait to try them out. Thanks again Uplander for hosting.

Got my flies on Friday. Didn't know it until my wife mentioned something about an envelope yesterday. Opened them up to see some great flies.
Thanks guys. Good ties in there for sure. Thanks to Uplander for hosting the swap.
No more swaps for me for a while. I need to replenish my own supply for this up and coming season.
