Fly Boxes

As jeff miller and others know, I tend to get wet when I fly fish. I
take chances when I shouldn't and often get my fly boxes immersed.
This means I have to dry them out, and even then, some of the flies
rust. I don'[t mind getting wet, but it kills me when my flies do.
I don't seem to have a problem with flies rusting. I figure that if I
use them then they will get wet. I simply put the used flies in the ash
tray of the black pickup and they dry out there. Then I put them in
whatever cheap ass box I found that I could buy for less than a buck.
If the flies are looking pretty ratty, then I clean them up and use
hemostats to make them all purdy by holding them in the steam from a
teakettle.
It may not be too refined, but it works for this redneck.
