holds flies and lets them start drying ), isn't too bulky and heavy ( my
objection to the ones I've seen ), is preferably cheap ( I fish on a tight
budget ) or even better, home made ( I love fishing with stuff I made )

I tried for years to find one that worked and finally gave up. Now I simply put
them in an old hook box till I get back to the truck and then transfer them to
an ashtray that is not used in the truck. They dry there and when I get home I
clean them up and steam them before putting floatent on them and then store
them in their proper boxes. the ones that are too mangled to save I then use to
remind me to tie more, and then retire with honors. I hope someone has a better
method.
