OK, I'm starting early on my New Year's resolution to organize my flies - I'm going to dump them all out in a pile and put them - somewhere.
Do you folks keep your flies that you take out with you in separate boxes? Like a box for each insect, with nymphs and dries together? Or a box of all different nymphs? Or all jumbled together, willy nilly and just grab something? And then each day do you decide what to take for that particular stream? After all these years I ought to have an idea of what would be the most useful for me, but every time I go out, I have the wrong flies. And then when I get back to home base, I can't even find the fly I wanted out on the stream. Is it hopeless?
