No, I am good like I said have done 2 already. A dozen is the perfect number, you guys run with it and have fun. Make sure you post some pics!

tacklerunner · #64 05-03-2011, 10:53 AM

Too late... you're in Ken.

The forum only allows me to send 10 PMs every 30 minutes so instructions have been sent to 1 through 10. 11 - 13 will follow shortly.

chubbdarter · #65 05-03-2011, 11:36 AM

im a bit slow...so just to clarify

we send TR 13 flys and a sase
he then does the sorting and puts the flys in the envelope we sent him and mails it back to each person
my question is how does a fly like a dry make it in a envelope with CP?

I agree. I've been thinking about the packaging. I've got a bunch of small hook boxes and such that I was going to use to send them back to you so a self addressed stamped envelope is going to be a waste of a stamp.

Also once I know where everybody is located I will deliver some locally and mail the ones that are located up north in a small box. I have no problem covering the cost of shipping them out but you guys will need to figure out how to get them to me in good shape.

Since I am ordering some flies from a local company I will see about getting them shipped directly to you so that you get them quickly.

what if we send the 13 in a small fly box or tupper ware in one of those canada post bubble envelopes. while a person is at the PO and gets the price for the package the person can purchase another bubble/lope which is self addressed and paid for and send it inside the envelope with the flys. Then theres no cost to you and flys arrive safe. Everyone then gets their container back .

I think about guys like FH7 who have to incur the cost of getting them to me as it is. I will send them back in the containers that they come in but I don't want to force anyone to send a prepaid return envelope. So I will take them however each individual wants to get them to me and do what I need to to get them back to everyone.

i'll stick a little money in my envelope to help with costs....you shouldnt be stuck with the whole expense

chubbdarter · #71 05-03-2011, 12:45 PM

another question for you northern participants....do you have stoneflies up there....if not i can tie up something else....beadhead pheasant tail nymph?

Ok you are very generous as it is with all the gear you gave away. If you feel like you must, do so. And to the rest of the participants, don't feel obligated to pre-arrange the return of your flies. I am happy to take care of that.

There are some flies coming that will do just fine in a regular envelope in order to get them to me such as FH7's san juan worms so that will help cut costs for some of the senders.

tacklerunner · #73 05-03-2011, 12:51 PM

Another thing is maybe we'll have to hook up with FH7 on the Bow one day and show him how to catch rainbows

and maybe he will be generous enough to deliver some packages in and around the Red Deer area.

I think there are stoneflies up here in the Grande Prairie area? Why did I tie so many stoneflies this winter?

Ken07AOVette · #82 05-03-2011, 06:44 PM

I just used a thin piece of foam in the envelope to send the flies. The ones I got back were in a little plastic zip loc bag

I moved too slow to join this swap - oh well, next time!

Just a word of advice on your containers. Make sure that your containers plus envelope are less than 20mm thick to qualify as oversize lettermail. That requires a $1.25 stamp for most shipments. Anything thicker qualifies as small parcel and won't be delivered...found that out the hard way!

never too late to accept some donated flys by one of our great sponsors. i've bought quite a few dozen from you folks and been very happy with both your quality and quick delivery. how about some "ugly bugs"?
