eastern fly 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2016 I keep cut pieces of foam and put my screen name on them or put my flies in small bag I get from WM and write on them. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stabgnid 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2016 I do my 2 ways 1) if I can put them in bags I use labels that I print out on my Computer and stick them on the bag . 2) if they have hackle that can not get smashed Like dry fly hackle I printed up my name on the computer and printed a couple pages then I cut them out when I need them .

vicrider 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2016 I used paper at first but having so many come in with paper tags loose in the container and half of them off I switched to foam. Wally World has big packs of cheap foam way less than ordering foam through fishing venues. Now when I put them in container I'll cut some paper towel to place in keep them from banging around so flies and tags definitely stay together. Those using paper in tin containers could help SM by putting Kleenex or paper towel in to keep them from shaking around in there so tags and flies stay together.

flytire 0 Report post Posted November 27, 2016 print them up then cut them out then stab the hook into them. 1 tag for each fly dont forget the rest suggestions for packaging boxes. use your judgement tin box is good for the small flies (altoids or whatever) a medium sized box is good for larger flies (michaels craft store in the bead section) a vhs tape box is good for the largest of flies (hard to find if you threw them all out) all of them should include an address label on them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
