When I inevitably leave a box at home which is needed at the time. I can always be safe in the knowledge that I will have a good selection of the flies that are meant to be in the box lying in the boot of my car, pocket, vest, hat or pretty much anywhere else I care to look.  :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4 :z4

Interesting...last year I got into the habit of sticking wet flies onto the parcel shelf of my car to dry out. I have an selection of flies that have caught fish and raise an eyebrow or two when I take the car to the garage.

Trouble is, when I want one, the car is always parked miles away!

It could be worse. You could be driving my isuzu trooper (or an alfa for that matter) and your flies never even make it to the river bank...

From what we've seen so far Hamish, I think you're gonna need a bigger box :z4
