Now maybe I lost the plot or didn't read the instructions (Well I'm a bloke
and it's traditional for us not to read them) but I ain't arf gettin a lot
of rusty flies.
Never happened before and I lost a couple of serious fish (yes they was
frowning) on a trip recently due to breakage.
Just wondering if it all has something to do with the waterproof fly box's
I've been using. Maybe they keep the moisture in. So taken to opening them
after fishing.
Anyone else found a similar phenominum?

I have a sheepskin patch on my waistcoat and put used flies in that. I
only bother emptying it and put them back in the box when it starts to
get a bit overcrowded.. I tend to use only a small range of
flies/nymphs these days so find it a lot more convenient. The flies
soon dry out and that way wet flies never get back into a fly box.

Nothing I just finf it a lot more convenient having a section readily
available without fiddling around with boxes especially if I'm up to
the top of my waders plus I'm basically a lazy sod ;-)

Yeh I use a fly patch also.
So flies go back dry just feel there is a link since there is always
condensation. Could all be a coincedence
Use amadou on my CDC's quite a bit.
