Hi Chuck,

I've recently taken to doing two things:

one, as already suggested, i print the labels using a table in word. i include as much or as little information as requested. typically i do: name, e-mail, pattern name, author's name if applicable, and notes.

two - i go to my local dollar store and buy a box of the snack size, ziplock style, plastic baggies. i just put the fly and tag in there. that way they don't tangle with other flies. works fine so far. might not be the best solution for heavily hackled flies though.

The first few times I meistetered I collected the patterns and then sent them out.  I had trouble with the size of the file and head to break it up and send it about three parts. 
Right now I am running my annual 4 swap madness.  I have 8 groups of ten in this and collecting and sending patterns would be to much.   I usually find two or three patterns in a swap that I have not tried before or something close to them.  I rearely have folks ocntact me about the patterns I have for the flies I send into swaps.

Well put, Rick...when Mike meistered the "GoTo" Swap, he took digital photos of each fly in the swap and sent them along in email to all participants.  Prior to this, he drew up a recipe "card" of sorts for the participants to email back to him with the choice of fly.  Lotta work for him but well worth it for the participants!

I have folks just toe tag the flies with their name and email address.
That way if someone wants the pattern they can email and get  it.
Less for this swap meister to handle.
