Nix the small zip lock bags

[fishingbobnelson 0]

As a Swapmeister I find the use of small plastic zip lock bags to be a problem when resending flies.  Not everyone sends their flies in the same size or shape box.  I get big ones, round ones, ones with dividers and sometimes the flies in bags don't fit.  If I have to scrunch up the bag to get it in the box, it sort of defeats the purpose. I think having the recipe on the toe tag is nice, but they take a lot of space, especially when inside a little baggie.  If you want to share the pattern information, it could be posted on the topic thread at the end of the swap.

just stuff the ziplock baggie in the return envelope and the loose flies in the supplied box

easy peasy

I agree.   They also crush dry fly hackles.

They do create a little extra work for us Swapmeisters.  I just remove the flies and send them and keep the bags for my special mixes of dubbing.  When life gives you lemons...
