Dry Fly Box of Choice?

[NJTroutbum]

What kind of flyboxes do you all use for your dry flies? I've tried so many of the foam and newer boxes, but always come back to the standard compartment boxes like the Dewitt's. Mainly because I hate getting my dry hackles mashed and matted down. What do you all use?

Cliff Day's Worth boxes. I have one for mayflies, one for caddis. For bigger attractors/hoppers/terrestrials I use plastic boxes from craft store and glue in slotted craft foam.

I use the standard C&F box with the additional page - holds 564 flies.
Here is a pic at the link. Kind of pricey, but I've picked up all of mine on sale at half or less over the years. There are also some knock-offs for around 12 bucks out there.

I use the same C&F boxes that kglissmeyer uses.

I cant afford them there $$$ fly boxes. I just carry mine around in a clear plastic bag...

I like the compartment boxes as well. make sure you glue a magnet or use a piece of something sticky in the bottom, or Mr. Wind will make you poorer.

How do you guys who use those compartment boxes keep from dropping the whole clump of Hendricksons into the river at once? I think I'm too uncoordinated for them. I have a tremor and like the security of the C&F slotted foam. Hate the prices. So I bought them all on ebay and similar places for about half off. I also really like the C&F threader box for tiny dries and all midges.

For years I used a compartment style box. Last year I switched to a C&F knock off style. I didn't notice any problems with hackles getting crushed. I still keep my midges in a small compartment box.
