Why make flies and lures?

Most likely it languished for years in a little steel lock box

Interesting, I too have a metal lock box with childhood memories. In the box
are items that will never be used again, however it's always fun to look
back at the content and think about what each item represents. One item in
the box is an old metal Perrin fly box with some of my first ties (from
about the age of 11 or 12), most are probably not worthy of ever seeing the
light of day but fun to look at. Since our last move, I haven't seen the
metal lock box, I'll have to dig through the pile of boxes in the basement
tonight in hopes of finding it.

I hope mine has not gotten lost too...
