Frankly, for years I was almost glad to lose flies ...i.e. have them fall
off the drying patch on my vest. I didn't fish a whole lot, I loved to tie, so "no biggie" if some got lost. Sometimes I just threw the used one away when I changed flies, I wanted an excuse to tie more. But I now fish a fairly large amount ( already have the boss' ok for mid-May until Mid-Oct next year :-) and mainly use only a few patterns, ties that have become routine, if not tedious, to replace. I don't have the organizational skills ( anal attitude :-) needed to replace used flies in their proper box, while actually fishing, and I've tried a couple foam patches but I fish 100% barbless hooks and they don't hold them well. I'm tired of losing perfectly good flies. 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? |
