The fly is great, and the toe tag is exactly right.

Some wonderful looking flies coming through. Great vision and use of materials everyone. Really liking that Soft Kitty, not usual for around these woods or at least this neck of it, but it looks an exciting fly.... might have to borrow that pattern.
Couple of days late, but mine have finally made the Post Office and left for California today. Apologies in advance if they are late and hold up the works, but I am hoping they will be there before (very close to- but before) the end of the month.
Hope those in the swap at least get a laugh out of my offerings.......

Mataura Mayfly, Howdy;
The laughter from mine should cover any yours may generate.

No fear Hank, I even enlarged your "unruly class" photo and there is naught to be laughed at there.
Fine looking fishable flies and at the end of the day that is all that is needed to pursue the sport we follow.

And so for you, Ms Fflutterffly, the fun (and hard work) begins!
Numbers are starting to roll in and it will be a fun job unwrapping each pack to wonder at the content........ not so much fun sorting and assembling the individual packs to send back.
Thanks for playing host to this one.

Flies will be on the way on Monday with hand printed toe tags. Sorry, no printer available at McDonalds for us free wi-fi users. Spending the summer with Jim Slattery is fun and the fishing is getting better (they've been playing with the water levels), but no cell phone service and no internet is tough on an internet junkie.
