So, I'm in the market for a drying patch ( container) that works (
securely
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 )

Suggestions?



35mm plastic film can. Drill some small holes around the base and the rim.
Drill a hole in the lid, pull a cord through the hole, and knot it. You can
hang this on your vest, in a pocket etc.

The flies wont fall out, and they also dry pretty quickly.
