Default Flys on a Lanyard.

I tried putting some flys on a lanyard today and it worked pretty fare. I
have a hard time trying to change flys especially anything 16 or smaller
while wading.
I strung C&F threaders through a pill bottle and on to the lanyard. There a
couple of pictures on ABPF.
It workd pretty well I was able to put a new fly on much faster than I would
have digging out box, putting on the fly etc.
I put all pattern in one bottle so the patterns you can quick change are
limited to how many pill bottles your willing to wear around you neck ( I
used 6). I have to be careful putting the threader back in the bottle, if a
fly catches on the edge of the bottle they can all strip off.
After the first trial there are a couple of chages to make, one is to get a
pill bottle with an attached cap. and to replace the mono with a single
strand of steel leader.
The threaders work great with the small nymphs bout for the bigger drys to
work I may have to make my own threaders and use a longer bottle.
I'm also going to start on a big variation for steelhead flys, I can still
see well enough to change them and it may take a pill bottle the size of a
beer can but hopefully it will work when it's colder than whores heart and
my fingers only kinda work.
