Our local Tree had markers for coloring scratches in wood.  For a buck (at the time) I grabbed all the colors, brown, almost brown, light brown and sort of brown.  The colors are great for coloring shell backs and such.  They also had some storage boxes even smaller than the ones you show that are perfect for storing hooks.  Every now and again they have LED desk lamps.  Not the greatest but they're only a buck.

Thanks for this Denduke - looks like that Dollar Store (and although we have them down here I've never visited one...) has many of the same materials that I found in the "party stores" I mentioned... but in smaller amounts...

Yes sir - that's them.  They're a good size for holding hooks!

Now available at Dollar tree- "Easter Grass", or as we call it, holographic Tinsel.  I picked up the green and amber, they also have it in pink and maybe other colors depending on location.

I usually just snag a little here and there from the displays in various stores.

I did pick up couple of bags of mesh tubing yesterday

Couple of great colors.  I’ve gone nuts with dat stuff!

Lots of great ideas there.  

Do you add any weight to the flies or your line?  Floating or sinking line?
