Old Geezer's Wide-Eyed Fly Box

old-geezers-fly-box

The six-compartment Old Geezer's Wide-Eyed Fly Box was included with an order of Old Geezer's Wide-Eyed Flies. The flies currently are not in stock, but the fly box is still a very useful little box that will hold a couple dozen flies - more than you would need for a day on the stream. At 3 3/8" x 2 1/4" x 7/8" it will fit in any pocket.

It also makes reasonable lure box if you carry only a few lures with you and if they are not too large. If you mostly fish the micro spoons one small box may be all you need. The dividers are removable, so it is easy to carry a few plugs as well. They are indeed minimalist, but if you carry only a few lures, one or two boxes may be all you need. And for just $2 each, there's no reason NOT to have a couple.

Finally, the small bamboo Microfishing Line Winders will fit if you remove the dividers.

Flies not included.

Years ago, I had a little, minimalist fly box that was just the right size for a day on the stream. It had six compartments and would hold three dozen flies. Although I always just slipped it into my trousers pocket (another advantage of wearing hippers), it had a nice little loop that could be used to carry it on a lanyard or on a zinger. 

Almost from the very beginning, I shipped flies in little six compartment fly boxes but I didn't have the the boxes for sale on the site. Then a guy asked me where I got them, as he had been looking for something just like it for when he sends flies to family and friends. I'd never thought of selling what I gave away, but quickly realized that I only gave them away to people who bought flies, and the people who might really like a little box like this probably tie their own (especially if they send flies to family and friends).

I started selling the little six-compartment fly boxes but still give them away with purchases of a dozen or more flies.

For my own use, I've cycled through several different fly boxes since then, but I have come back to that simple six compartment box. I carry two of them now, one for flies and one for small plugs and micro spoons. A minimalist fly box or a minimalist tackle box.

They are a very handy size and really will carry all the flies you need. And really, they're just two bucks!

“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten” - Benjamin Franklin

"Be sure in casting, that your fly fall first into the water, for if the line fall first, it scares or frightens the fish..." -
Col. Robert Venables 1662

As age slows my pace, I will become more like the heron.

We've all had situations where seriously chewed up flies kept catching fish after fish after fish. It is no sin to tie flies that come off the vise looking seriously chewed up.


Warning:

The hooks are sharp.
The coffee's hot.
The fish are slippery when wet.
