I just finished all my tying and sorting for the first trip of the season, I'm leaving Saturday AM. My goal is to bring enough bugs that I don't need to buy any while I'm there.

Well , I think you've succeded at that ! I sure wish I was as organized .

Life is like a fly swap...You never know what your going to get.
That's impressive. Where are you going? Looks like good weather on Saturday in your area, but Winter hasn't lost its grip yet.
Yup, Looks like it should get you through the day. Got any more for Sunday?
Kengore,
May I ask where and what type of boxes those two at the bottom of the pic are..?
and i am assumeing that you had to add the foam inserts....Really Nice!! Hope you have a great trip!!!
Wish ya great fishing,Bill
I was wondering the same thing about those boxes as well.
Sometimes a crowd can be the loneliest place
kengore,
Assuming you can tie a fly on every 30 to 60 seconds I'd say you've got a good 10 hour day just tying the flies in that bottom left box on your line.That's just one box! Add all the others and I don't think you will have time to fish!
Very impressive. Have a great trip.

The big boxes are Plano boxes with the interior partitions removed using a hot knife attachment on my electric soldering iron. Plano makes a box without the interior partitions but I was unable to find it in my area.
I also have some similar boxes (slightly thicker & without any partitions) I found at Office Max.
I made the foam inserts from 6mm and 3mm craft foam. I needed to trim a base layer to fill in some molded depressions that are part of the box design. Then I cut full size pieces to fill both the lid and bottom. I made my own ripple foam by cutting grooves in the 6mm foam using a radial arm saw.
For my new boxes I took 6mm foam and applied 2 sided carpet tape to the back side, cut the foam into 1/4" wide strips and stuck it to sheets of heavy acetate. Similar to the dividers found in C&F boxes.
I think you need more eggs. I see a little empty space in the bottom left corner. LOL
you still don't have the right one
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
