Don’t make the mistake of the underestimating the importance of a box to keep your flies in. There are hundreds of fly boxes on the market that come in various styles and sizes that are designed to hold certain size flies using various types of materials or compartments. Some are heavy and some are light. Of course, lighter is usually better but only if it is also durable.
Some fly boxes have good tight fitting lids and some don’t. If the latch doesn’t work properly, you’re subject to lose a lot of flies. Our Perfect Fly boxes are waterproof, and we think that is a huge benefit.
Having one fly box to hold all your flies may seem like an advantage, but in most cases it is a big disadvantage. One simple reason is that if you lose the fly box, and that sometimes happens, you lose all your flies. Another reason is you have to sort through a lot of flies to find the one you want. If they were separated in boxes that held specific types of flies – nymphs, dries, streamers, for example, that process would be faster and easier. When it comes to selecting flies, we think our two-sided, clear lid fly boxes offer an advantage. You can instantly see what flies are in the box.
Choosing the right fly box also involves determining where you intend to keep it. This also should determine the size of the fly box. The size of your fly vest, fly pouch or shirt pocket may be a controlling factor on the size of the fly box.
