With March and April fast approaching, it’s time to fill the bins of the "most used’. Always on that list is the Quill Gordon Wet. A staple in my box, as it has been for countless other fly fisherman over the years. A timeless classic from the Catskills.

Nice flies, but I like the Hemmingway cigar box as well. I don’t smoke anymore, but love to keep and good un-lit cigar in my mouth when tying or fishing.
I haven’t had a cigar in years myself, but the box doubles as both my profile plate and material bin. Plus, I felt it added a touch of class to the tying bench. Something that is seldom found in the chair.
