Hi all,
I like to tie my own flies for fly fishing and I was wondering if some flies could be an appropriate trade item. A number of the caches around me are near lakes where I like to fish. I thought the flies may be a welcome item.
The rules are clear that knives and other dangerous items should not be placed in a cache, but would that apply to fish hooks? They are certainly sharp, but I would put them in hard plastic case to ensure no one accidently pricks themselves.
What do you think - ok, or dangerous if found by a child?
Thanks
Is it appropriate to put hand tied fly fishing flies in a cache?

Thanks everyone for your replies. Really appreciate your thoughts. I've got a bunch of small, clear, screw-top containers lying around so people's fingers would be perfectly safe when digging around in a cache. My concern was exactly kunarion's comment ("our 3-year-old found..." [and the story gets real exciting from here])…
I have a 3 year-old and he is just beginning to enjoy "treasure hunting." Personally I would never let him pull things out of a cache without checking first, but I don't want to be the cause of someone's little one getting hurt. It feels safe enough to me, but wanted to hear other's opinions.
