Fly box (up close)

thank you for the closeup view!
Gorgeous.
Nice flies as well.

My favourite fly is my very own “Fire Bug”, it’s a variation of a woolybugger, made with orange and red maribou. Rick laughed when I first made it (I just thought it looked pretty) but when it caught all the fish, he was soon tying his own.
:D

Thanks again for sharing.

Lboy, these are just stunning! There is something very special about these small boxes and I just love small wooden boxes.

I really like these. I need to make one for my brother.

Very nice! I have some great flies for Central Oregon that would be right at home in these wondeful fly boxes!

Thank you all for the nice comments.

I’ve used some of these flies in Central Oregon. The one’s not pictured didn’t make it.

Thanks for the close ups! You really did a nice job on that top.

Those are really cool! I like small simple boxes like these. They are very stylish. The shape is great too… rounded corners are perfect for the palm or pocket.

I received a call from my son this week saying that if i didn’t know what to get him for his birthday that he was flyfishing again and so some flies would be nice.

And then I thought.. hmmm.. shipping a bunch of flies across the country… wouldn’t it be nice if they were in a nice flybox made by his Mom
And then I thought: I’m pretty sure a LumberJock posted a fly box a while back.

Sure enough: exactly what I was looking for! I happen to have some barrel hinges and magnets. Now I just need to do the woodworking part :)

Thanks for the inspiration!
