Old hat, sounds like a good idea as well, but I agree 3 flies would be better as 9 flies (3 per box) as myself for one would struggle with three identical ties..... I would fluff around and tie two dozen trying to come up with three that looked identical! :lol:

It's the sprit of the game not the quality of your flies. I like Hats' idea as well. For now I'm just suggesting a winner take all tie. Add it up. If there are 400 flies in a small box x $2.00 that box is worth...$800.00 Yahoooooooooooooooo! And some of those flies could be tied by world famous folks. Regardless this will be an international tie. That is exciting in and of itself.

I like the idea. Perhaps one third of the flies could go to Casting for recovery.

Yes, Ruard another great organization.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
