I have used boxes available in the hdwe dept from W-Mart (inexpensive) and also from the beading dept at local craft stores to store the flies that you tie in bulk. Many options and dividers available to handle tiny nymphs to streamers. If u r tying a number of tiny nymphs thinks about the 7 day pill storage devices at your local pharmacy

I use these, but I'm certainly interested in an even less expensive alternative:

Hugh. With the grandkids around a lot they love "Cup of Noodles". I cut off the bottom Inch-or-so off the cup. On the bottom of the underside is a small
ridge. When the bottom is cut off even, place the open side down. Now, as you tie your flies they may be hooked into this small ridge. You may be able
to hook about 20 to 30 flies per cup bottom depending on size and shape. I have 10 or 12 cup bottoms on a shelf by my tying table, so when it comes time
to fill my fly boxes I have an open and plain view of all the magic flies I have been tying, and select accordingly. Real easy clean and cheep. These also
make good display stands when I go with Project Healing Waters to the V.A. The Vets. can see the flies they want to tie and close to what the fly should
look like. Right now my camera isn't talking to my computer, or my computer isn't listening so no pictures.
Hope this helps. Works for me

Ahhh, it is soooo nice that people have some pity on those of us in the frozen north. Testing those flies, what a guy!

Black Sharpie Permanent Marker
3" x 4" Recloseable Bag (large size)
2" x 3" Recloseable Bag (small size)
(available at JoAnn Fabrics)
This is how I store my extra dressed fly paterns, until I need to replentish my fly box.
I also use this when I ship out the fly patterns from my Beginner's Swaps that placed inside a Whitman Sampler Box
The Whitman Sampler Box has the name and address taped to the top of the box, with a Address Card with my name and address (worst case situation) so if the package becomes lost in the U.S. Mail, we still have a chance for recovery!
