What Fly Boxes Do You Carry?

I generally carry far too many fly boxes. Whenever possible I like to fish dries and as I occasionally fish nymphs and spiders on lochs I tend to take all my boxes when fishing still water.

For rivers I will only take two boxes with nymphs, spiders and dries and an addition small plastic box of dries. this small plastic box is often the only box I will take for an evening cast on a local stream.

My boxes are not well organised and a complete mess, something I am going to try to put right but expect to fail at. Also trying to rationalise the flies I take when fishing rivers, hopefully an easier task than sorting out the wet flies!!

This is the box I use most.  Most of my river trips I try and travel ultralight with only one box with half a dozen patterns in a couple of different sizes.  These patterns cover all types of water from late April to the end of the season.

Your not kidding.

Sagecirca I don't suppose you would be interested in tidying my flat.

I've never seen fly boxes so organized and tidy. I tidy mine now and again but they still look like a dogs breakfast compared to yours.
