Fly Boxes
"Wet"...ha!...if full body immersion, touch the bottom with your
forehead, float beneath the surface for 10 seconds constitutes "wet",
well yeah, i'd agree you do "tend to get wet". I have one. I like it.
seems to work. But, I generally do not field test in the same manner
as I have witnessed you do.

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 have used Wheatley boxes in the past, as well as C&F and those cheap
foam boxes with the lids held together with 2 magnets. Everything I
have lets water in. However, I now see advertised the SA waterproof
fly box system. It has a rubber gasket which seals water out. They
could call if the Frank Reid Model, but I don't see Frank's name
mentioned in the ad. They are the right size and have inserts for
nymphs, dries, and streamers. Also available is a lightweight foam
insert storage suitcase which seems like a handy way to organize those
flies which you are not using.
Question: Has anyone tried this system, and if so, how is it?
What fly boxes *do* you use?
