Streamer Box Suggestions

[Chuck S]

All great ideas and kudos Steve! Well done! I've a multitude of boxes, some DIY and other bought and of late I've been using a few of those little satchel style bags that bass anglers use for worms or spinner baits. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/st...er+bait+binder Don Griefe put me onto these when he showed for a Redfishing trip out on Mosquito Lagoon carrying a couple of these, complete with leaders, tippet and flies, plus nippers and pliers in about 1/10th the space my tackle bag and boxes took up!
You can put a half dozen flies in each zip lock bag there, plus smaller pliers, tippet and more and carry dozens of flys nicely in a relatively water resistant container which is important if you fish in salt water.

Among the older boxes my favorite and they've been around for years is the Bonnand boxes of a clear green plastic with a brass piano hinged lid. They were slotted for small lures so you could carry five or six traditional streamers easily in each of five compartments. http://www.flyfishingnetwork.com/Pro...oductReview.db I was put onto these by John Propp , flyshop owner in Spokane and holder of many of the tippet records for Northern Pike at times when I worked for him.

I see Bonnand has a new boat box out and I may get one but would have to see it first in person and compare to the Bug Barn but as I'm now thinking of combining Steve's ideas and a rubber O-ring sealed box I already have to make a waterproof, saltwater, easy to see the flies, box when I'm going out in a boat and not necessarily wading the flats.

Another streamer option. Cabela's has this for around $20, about the same size as the small art-bin box or Bugger Beast Jr. I especially like the idea of the third foam on the exterior. Would work great for boats of all types.

Guys, I was speaking of a box that will fit in the large pockets of my vest not a boat.

Bruce,

The photo boxes I use definitely fit in my vest and it looks like the ones Flyfish Dog linked to will, as well.

Although I do not use a vest much anymore but I do use a Orvis shoulder bag and my camel back Hydratiuon system which both can swallow a couple big boxes along with smaller boxes and gear.

Those photo boxes are cool and if you can find any older clear VHS boxes. I got about 2 dozen still in wrappers and like them a lot to. Constantly look aat Goodwills to find them.

The Cliff's boxes are nice. While their Bugger Barn was a little too large for my vest, their CRAB Shack has the same foam setup as the Barn but is the size of the Super Daysworth. Bought one a couple years ago.

I went to Hobby Lobby's website. Where can I find the foam?

None of these hobby stores seem to be real big on online shopping. Hobby Lobby > site map > shop online > search box > eva foam sheet 3mm

Michaels search for eva foam 6mm

Bought foam at Walmart about an hour ago. 50 sheets of 5.5 x 8.5 for five bucks.

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.

Hey Scott, How long are those photo boxes? I can't figure out the numbers they provide in the link. That's a good idea.
