FLY BOXES
Long ago I stopped wearing fishing vests. This fly box is my answer all that I require for a day's fishing and is based on C&F Design fly box inserts. I have couple of dozen of these inserts and four storage boxes for different types of
fishing. From these, I choose two inserts full of ready-to-go flies to take for an outing. Two of the inserts are ample enough to store more flies then I will need on any daily fishing excursion.
My fly box has three spools of tippet and space to store my clipper attached to small carabiner (which I clip to a button hole in my shirt when I reach the water).
My fly box is made from select birds eye maple and is hand coated with marine varnish. All other parts are brass and stainless steel to resist
salt water rusting. It's size is 6" x 3.5" x 1.6" (15 cm x 9 cm x 4 cm) and it fits in my shirt pocket.
These fly boxes are all hand made, one-of-a-kind items. Contact Faruk for more information (see contact info at bottom of page)
Fly boxes come with grooves in each half to accommodate small C&F inserts, which are locked in place with pins
C&F Design inserts come in many different configurations/models to accommodate large fly sizes (see the inserts in the above pic)
