Day 3 Contest- Flies, Tying Material, and those Sticker things (And Day 2 winner announced!)

First off, congrats to Jordan Viveiros! You won the Infantry Co. watch from yesterday's drawing!
Thanks to everyone who's commented, shared, etc. Social media must be angry with me by now!

On to day 3. Today, we have an assortment of flies, materials, and stickers.

I sat down at the vise last night and whipped up half a dozen flies. There are 3 AZ Mini Hoppers, and 3 Beetle terrestrials, all made with my racing stripe foam. 

I've also include 15 (3 of each color) stacked Chernobyl bodies. These were handmade by me and helped me slaughter everything from trout to bass to bluefish this summer. Tie whatever you want with them, and be sure to send me some pics. I'd love to see what you come up with.

I've also included some sticker love from Uprising, Alaska Fly Shop, High on the Fly, Hardy, Risen Fly, and yours truly. 

As for the contest, let's do something a little different today. I have a giant glass fish sitting at my bar in the basement. Over the last year or so, my friends and I (well, who am I kidding..mostly me) have been feeding the fish with beer caps. For today's contest, the person who guesses the the closest number of bottle caps in the fish WITHOUT GOING OVER wins the package above.

Ground Rules:
1.This contest will end at exactly 12am EST. Any entries past that point will not count.
2.You get one guess just for commenting. Social media sharing is  also still in effect. For each social media share you have, you get an extra guess. You can get a total of 5 guesses. (Acceptable sharing includes Facebook, Instagram, G+, Twitter, and a post on your blog.) 
3.Make sure you tag me in your social media share. You can find the FB page on the link up top, twitter at @dubthethorax, and Instagram at @mike_phazeone. For your blog post, leave a link to your blog in your comment.
4.You may only comment once. Please include everywhere you shared, and your blog URL in the comment. Then include your guesses.
5.In the case of a tie, I have something up my sleeve.
6.Remember that if you go over the correct amount, you lose.

Good luck and let the games begin.  Now I'm going to have some pancakes and go fishing, although I wish it were these type of pancakes.
