Streamer Box Suggestions

[lastchance]

I've started to experiment with streamer flies. I'm looking for suggestions for a box to carry them in from you guys that carry them with you regularly. I don't think I've ever owned a box just for streamers.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,

I found some clear plastic photo cases like these work well:

put a piece of 4mm foam in the bottom, cut some slits with a razor/straightedge and off you go.

Scott

I like the Cliffs Bugger Barn.

You might want to take that for what you paid for it though, as I don't actually carry one these days. My son does, and I still have a couple. But everything I'm tossing these days is small and smaller it seems, so the Bugger Barn just isn't necessary. But if I was carrying around streamers, that's likely the box I'd go to.

I second the bugger barn. I love tying and fishing streamers my Cliffs Bugger Barn goes with me every outting. I will post a picture of it today its amazing how many flies the thing holds. It has everything in it from articulated streamers to single hook stuff depending on what section of a river I am on. Its also the only box I take with me for the smallmouth which accounts for the majority of my days in between trout outtings. They are also relatively inexpensive but quality made right here in the USA. I carry weighted and unweighted depending on what line Im using but the majority of my streamer fishing is done with a sink line and unweighted flies.

Be back shortly with photos,
Richard

I use Art Bin boxes, Same company makes the Cliff's boxes without the abhorent jacked pricing to make killing! Plus it clear and not colored and a sheet of 6mm foam trimmed to fir the box and spray adhesive and got a nice box to hold them. You can find them at Jo Ann Fabric.
Like me I have a extra foam cut out for a pull out center for more flies.

Interesting, people, let's see some photos. I just started fishing streamers in earnest this past Fall and it's fun watching a fish attack the fly. Every year I make a promise to pare down my boxes, and the number of flies I carry, but it never works.

I would like to see some photos also.
Just started fishing streamers more this winter.
They've saved the day more than once.

I love Cliff's boxes (have a few Super Day's Worths) and the Bugger Barn is great but I don't fish streamers enough to justify, so I make do with my own creations:





$2.00 for box and foam. Got another full of Circus Peanuts and Sculpzillas and one with PSCs and Slumpbusters.
