Anyway, I do something similar with a steelhead rig box thingee. Do
any of you pre-tie two flies or droppers and if so, have you found a
good way to store them for the stream?

If you go into a store like Joanne Fabrics, they sell small punch out cards
that are designed to have a full skein of embroidery floss wrap around
them, and they have precut slots to hold the ends secure. I think these
will work nicely with no modification. Just tie up your rig, put a loop on
the end for a loop-to-loop, and wrap it around the card. You could
probably fit a dozen or so of these into an altoids tin.

If it works well, we can print a picture of a fly on the cards, and sell
them for $8.50 in fly shops, instead of $2 in Joanne's. Maybe we can
spruce up the Altoids boxes and sell them for $15. I'll start doubling up
on my Altoids consumption right away, so we'll have a head start.

I saw a guy selling these at a fly show once:

http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/62...scription.html

It seemed to work pretty good, but I don't remember how he used it.
I do remember that the price seemed pretty freakin' extravagant for
a 35mm film canister with velcro wrapped around it, with a loop to
hang it on a zinger. Hell, even wayno could make his own in about
two minutes.
