Default Tagging my Flies for GFS2008

There isn't really a *best* method. For 90% of flies I've received,
just sticking the hook through a piece of stiff paper is sufficient;
and that's all I ever do. Tape, laminating, even tying them on is
fine. The only reason I cautioned against string is because I got a
large set once that was a bird's nest of tangled tags, strings, &
flies. For 14 flies, I wouldn't worry about it.
