Just went through the checkout line at a LOEW"S. They have a nice metal Alkaloids" type box with a window that might work well for a flybox. Slightly larger than gift card holder, approx 3/4 inch think.Cost $1.99. If you are going to make some boxes and have a Loew’s nearby, you should check this out.

Hi Kytroutbum;
What’s on the “lowes” box? any writing??
This is a great topic, very creative people on this list!

Just glanced at it and looked at the cover with the window. Right by a checkout. It was slightly larger than the normal “gift card box” and thicker. Don’t remember is the Lowes name was raised or not. I almost p[icked up a couple but I’m overwhlemed with fly boxes already. ( I was ,also, getting the “we’re going to Wyoming in a month do you really need that! stare”. We’re working as FS Campground host just out side of Yellowstone this summer- 4 months- got to keep momma happy).
revision b
just another cabelas gift card tin box with the card holder removed and thrown out.
this time i used 1 piece of foam for the insert. i used a C&F fly box insert as a guide.
the insert in the box will hold about 100 flies.
you can see the layout lines but in time these will wear away.
a stick on magnet in the cover would hold more flies but would make it a bit heavier. i want to go light.
Wayneb- I just looked again. The only LOWES on the box is a plastic insert that is removeable. Looks like it would make a nice box with large credit card size window. Cost is $1.99
Here is a Lowe’s box made up as a fly box. The window is pretty handy.
This has been a really good suggestion!

Oooo. That does make a nice looking box. I’ll have to check into those boxes too.
