Got one of the Caimore boxes as above. So impressed with it I have ordered another one. The middle 'leaf' can be pulled out so things like DHE's won't get their upwings 'splayed'.

Fantastic for the dosh, thanks for the heads up Iain !

Lindsay,

Due to the fact that the leaf is positioned in a way so that it is biased toward the slotted foam on the lid it leaves a larger gap for the wings of the flies placed in the bottom of the box and this is where I place my overly delicate stuff.

As the box hold something like 940 flies, well at least has this amount of slots, then removing the leaf and leaving 2 spaces between flies still allows you to have more than enough fly patterns & in various sizes to cover eventualities.

Well I'm finally Happy when it comes to flyboxes.

I have been able to convert my favourite flybox to have the attributes that i have always wanted it to have.

Thanks to a £4 foam insert from Richard Wheatleys site, my classic flybox is now the perfect river box for barbless flies, i've converted my smaller Wild Trout Trust Compartment box too for £3 Very happy. A cheap and easy way to transform your favourite box into a brand new barbless friendly box :z16

here are the results



Good stuff

Sandy
