Organizing fly boxes

[Firetiger 0]

I have 1 large compartment box for terrestrials and caddis, 1 medium for big mayflies, 1 medium for small mayflies, 1 small Wheatley for winter grayling fishing, 1 small Wheatley for french nymphs, 1 box for stillwater patterns (buzzers mostly), some storage boxes for flies I don't like anymore and 1 C&F box of buggy nymphs that I use for majority of my fishing and which is always empty :-)

For trout I have my flies seperated out by fly type, for warm and salt water I have them boxed together. So mine are seperated out as listed below in those light weight c&f boxes by:

 

1 box of: wet flies with soft hackles

1 box of: dry flies

1 box of: nymphs

1 box of: midges

1 box of: micro midges

1 box of: steelhead flies (a mix if egg flies, stoneflies, and streamers)

1 box of: streamers

1 box for surplus flies that were tied up for all of the above boxes

 

Then,

2 Plano boxes of: bass and pike flies

3 Morrel boxes of: bonefish flies

i put mine in the plastic divider boxes that go in the big soft tackle boxes. then when i need to restock my actual fly boxes that i bring to the water i just open up the tackle box and refresh the fly boxes.

I usually organize by whats in them dry, nymph, terestrial, wet, streamer (minnows), steamer (buggers and leeches). works for me. oh and I have a lake box chominids and micro leeches

I have 8 fly boxes.

 

Nymphs- C&F with a swing leaf. I divide them into midges and small mayflies, generic and specific mayflies, attractor mayflies, wet flies, caddis larvae and pupae, scuds and sowbugs, czech nymphs, stoneflies, worms, and cranefly larvae.

 

Dries- C&F box. Traditional mayflies, thorax, parachutes, emergers and midges on one side, caddis, attractors and terrestrials on the other.

 

Guide Box- Full of flies that are on loan from the fly shop for guiding. Selection depends on season.

 

Eggs- Just a small 6 compartment box divided by color.

 

Hoppers- Small fly box, organized by size.

 

Trout Streamers- Large fly box, organized by pattern and size.

 

Smallie Box #1- All of my deep flies; crayfish, darters, clousers, etc.

 

Smallie Box #2- Streamers and surface flies.

Here are some pics of my Nymph and Dry Fly boxes.

 

They're not full yet but give me a few more months of tying.

I have a few different boxes, and for example I have a nymph box with different nymphs all lined up on individual lines. I have a compartment style box for my dry flies, separated by type. I have a streamer box as well.

 

one day I am going to get good enough to have the nymphs by size and color :headbang:
