Ray,

I over the years I have donated thousands of flies to various non-profit fly fishing organizations when they have fund raisers. The flies don't have to be the same as long as they are in the same class (like trout flies or saltwater or bass, etc). People love bidding on flies in silent auctions and buy raffle tickets for flies in raffles. I buy fly cups and place a dozen flies in each cup. The organizations make money, I get a tax write off and the pleasure of knowing someone is going to go out there and catch some fish.

You should be able to donate to some around your area, or you could send them to me as a donation to the International Federation of Fly Fishers. I would arrange for a thank you letter which would state your donation and you would simply fill in the value of the donation.

Whatever you do I guarantee there are a lot of people out there that would appreciate your flies.
