vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2020 Got mine yesterday. Now I have to go to a bigger box to house all the previous, these, and the set still coming. It was a banner fly day yesterday. I received two sets in the mail, and I sent two packages for swaps out. I'm actually all caught up from a busy month of tying for swaps in various places. Kept me busy at vise but what a mess to clean up. I put a picture of vise with the shower magnets I glueed to it on the other section of board and everyone commented about how nice and clean my tying area was. I should have taken the picture two hours earlier but then now one could have seen my vise for the 2" of mess covering the desk. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted June 18, 2020 For better or worse Norm, mine generally stay on since I use small hunks of foam. Even so since hooks are barbless or pinched I have a hard time with the really small stuff. Could loop a mono through like one tyer but too much work. The last package I sent to BB had a 24 rainbow warrior variation in there and probably those will fall off. I know since I do a lot of swaps the paper tends to lose flies in sorting and counting.. If barbed they stay a little better but then I have to pinch barb. I think this is the first swap I've been in where every fly was on a barbless hook, or think they were. Don't remember pinching any down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breambuster 0 Report post Posted June 19, 2020 Some of the packages arrived at one house with a pile of flies in 1 corner and a pile of toe tags in another corner. Every fly in the set had lost its toe tag. I tried folding the edge of the toe tag over so the hook went through 2 thicknesses, but that may not have worked either. The ones with strings always arrive as a tangled up mess. Takes some time to get them all untangled, but they rarely, but still sometimes, lose their toe tag.
