Wow, thanks for all the great tips. I visited my local fly shop tonight and ordered a Bugger Beast and a Cliff Crab Shack. The crab shack is supposed to have more room to not squish taller flies. I still might look into a plano box or binder for xtra flies. 3 weeks of fishing and my fishing partner doesn't tie so I think I better have lots of extras.

I am greatfull for the pattern tips too. I think tying and prepping WILL be as much fun as the trip itself.

Thanks again,
Mike

I'm sure I will be asking more questions in the next few months...
