I was out shopping with my wife and we went into the Totes outlet. I found this little travel bag with a shoulder strap for $15 that had a main compartment big enough for two or three fly boxes and a reel. The back compartment has several pockets that are the perfect size for leaders. It has several other compartments that hold my tippet spools and other items. There is a side pocket with a velcro flap that is perfect for my floatant. The main compartment closes with rare earth magnets. I thought, this is stupid...I couldn't get a bag this perfect for less than $60 at a fly shop. It's been my bag of choice ever since.
A right emblem it may be, of the uncertain things of this world; that when men have sold them selves for them, they vanish into smoke. ~ William Bradford
I finally realized that Life is a metaphor for Fly Fishing.
