What do most suggest for a fly box to hold mostly #chironomid patterns when fishing from a small boat or pontoon? Thanks


I have a lot. And it's a pain carrying a bunch of smaller ones.*

The issue of bringing too many lures/flies is a problem many fishermen go through but there really is only one real solution and that is learn to pack what you really need

I now keep a big box in the truck and carry a small one when fishing. Very rare I need to go back to the truck for lures/flies. Odds are most fishermen use a max of 10 hooks a day but we all want a 1000 with us lol

I will try to remember to take a pic of my big truck fly box on my days off. Its double sided 4 sides of foam and about 12inch by 20in. Another one I used when I guided was a pistol case I modified. That was plenty for even large salmon, steelhead and bull trout flies

I only need two boxes the big one in the truck and one little box that is on me
