Similar to the Altoids tin method, I drill small holes in the lid of my flybox for ventilation (I just put the soaked flies back in the box and forget it). I also have a thin skinned (single ply) nylon belly/fanny pack so air circulates (breathable) in the pack (my flybox goes in the pack). Like my old light nylon windbreaker jacket that kept out the wind and rain, well sort of, but it did let air in. But I don't get any rust on my hooks anymore. Before I did this, I did have rust on my hooks and had to use an emery board to get the rust off.
