Fly Box Tour - Box #3 Caddis and Mayfly Nymph Box

This box is still has a lot open slots in it, hope to have it filled by the end of the month. When I first got this box I didn't realize how many flies it will hold. When this box is filled you wouldn't want to to loose it. Also it hard to think about the retail value of this box filled with flies. Each leaf holds 230 flies, times 4 leafs equals 920 flies in total. At $2.00 per fly equals a lot of money.


Sides 1 and 2 are caddis nymphs. Sides 3 and 4 are mayfly nymphs.

Any suggestions to help fill this box would be appreciated.

Fly Box Tour - Box #1 All things Little, Midge Box

The idea for this post came from the last couple weekends. Two weeks ago I was at West Denver TU tying clinic and had my fly box out on the table and was amazed how people stop to look at my fly boxes . Then this last Saturday I was doing a tying demo at Rocky Mountain Anglers in Boulder and had my fly boxes out. Again they where looked at a lot. So I got this idea to give you a tour of my fly boxes, this could take a while. I'm going to start out with my midge box. I organize my midge box by color. I took these picture with a fairly high setting on my mega pixels so you can really zoom in on them.

 Side 1 Reds and blacks, how different black midges can one person have.

 Side 2 - Whites and olives

 Side 3 - Pearls, browns, copper and some zebras at the bottom.

Side 4 - RS-2's, crystal midges and open spots.

Need a little work to get this box complete
