New Fly Box

[kevinhaney1]

Did you ever get a new box of flies that was just too damn pretty to take out on the stream and use? I bought the below three-level mahogany box on eBay stuffed full of English flies thinking I would use them and when I got it, it dawned on me that it looks more like a work of art than something to be used. So I think I'll keep it just to look at and admire the color and form of this work of fly tying art!

Congratulations on the find. I agree; it's kind of nice just to keep.

Cool box and flies. Someone put a lot of effort into that.

Yes, there is effort in that. There's part of someone's heart and soul in that package. What a great find for either fishing or display.

These wooden fly reservoirs are pretty popular in Great Britain both for trout flies and salmon flies. Richard Wheatley makes a very nice wooden fly box or reservoir. Here is an example of a wooden Wheatley box on top and another larger box below.



I made a couple of wooden fly boxes based on some of these wooden fly boxes from Great Britain. Some are single tiered while others are doubled tiered. I made these from Cherry, I was happy with the way they turned out.

That is a beauty. If you don't mind saying, what did you nab that for (cost).
