When you guys (and ladies) send flies into a fly swap, what do you
usually pack your flies in??? and then, to get the flies send back
to you, do you pack a box, or big padded envelope etc inside another
one for the return????? Thanks in advance, Chuck

Chuck,
My method's more expensive, but I really find it convenient. The
P.O. has a neat little Priority Mail box for video cassettes. (You DO
need a 3rd grader to figure out how to fold it to assemble it.)
So I get one of those, address it to myself, drop in an empty
cassette and seal it with one tab of scotch tape (so it can be
reopened without destroying the box).
Then I go to the P.O., buy the priority stamp ($3.85) and stamp the
box. Then I drop that in one of the big Priority mail Tyvek
envelopes and send it to the swapmeister (yep, another $3.85).
The swapmeister can then put the flies in the cassette, drop it in
the mailer, pull the strip tab that seals it and drop it in the mail
without fiddling with tape, postage or anything else.
PLUS, if the swapmeister is one who uses tyvek strips for bodies,
legs, nymph backs, trailing shucks, whatever, he/she's got a lifetime
supply in that outer envelope.
