Any ideas on how to use this?

found some really inexpensive fly boxes today and I have no clue on how to get flies into them. This is a picture of it, all solid plastic.

Could you possibly place strips of foam into the slotted pieces and then hook the flies into the foam?

I think you wedge the hooks into the slots in the plastic.

That's what I thought but I can't seem to get it right.

 

It looks as though I may have to add foam but it seams strange that they would sell it unfinished with no instructions or pictures...

It's a bit hard to tell from the pictures, but I think Jaydub has it. It's just not the direction we usually orient our flies. It would appear to be a bit inefficient. Still, you did say that they were cheap....

That's why it is so inexpensive.

Luckily I'm giving it away tomorrow anyways. I'm just going to take the white section out and but in a piece of foam, a little ugly but it'll work.

Looking at the pic, it does not really look inefficient.... it appears to be very flat, and the strips are offset. Seems to me it would be nearly as flat as a wallet, and when closed the flies form a single layer but the rows do not crush each other. Granted we don't usually orient our flies on the latitude... but for certain types of flies it would work well.

it is a nymph box my dad used to have a couple of them when I was younger I had to fill it every year with hare's ears on one side and PT nymphs on the other in his green one and in the brown one he had black stonefly nymphs on one side and caddis larvae on the other like Jay mentioned you jam the hook between the slots they actually can hold alot of flies and the 2 boxes take up less space then one "normal" fly box I am curious where you found them and if they had more

I guess it would hold a lot of nymphs

What is the source on these? Or what is brand name, I am intrigued and might try a couple.

Found it at angling specialties in Vaughn (Ontario) the copyright says 1994 and from the packaging they look to be that old. If anyone wants them I'll gladly send them over for the price plus shipping.

Ach... I didn't count the rows... I'm not superstitious but I wouldn't have that in my vest.
