I have way way way too many. Well, maybe you can't ever have too many but I am looking for a decent way to store flies. I looked at the large Cliff cases and may go that route, but figured I'd see what everyone else did.

Ideally, I'd like something that I can store them in at the house and on the road and then transfer what I want/need in to my smaller cases to fish. I have most in typical Plano plastic boxes but I am tired of digging through to find what I am looking for and untangling hooks, etc. I don't mind making, buying, or a combination of both, I just want a better storage solution that is portable.

I pretty much use the same thing, keep new ties in plano boxes and transfer to small fly boxes as needed. The cliff boxes are nice for big flies for sure. I seem to remember someone using homemade fly boxes, but can't put my finger on it.

i've got 5 of these: http://buy.scientificanglers.com/fly-boxes.html

they are pretty nice and you can keep things organized very well

I have several small boxes. I am looking for a large case of sorts to keep flies organized around the house and something I can also chunk in the truck if I need to.

I thought about converting an old brief case I have and adding foam, but I thought there may be a better option. Most of the flies I make/bought/traded for are size 10 - 1/0 saltwater flies.

Most of the older Falcon Tackle boxes have removable dividers making them big single (or double) compartment boxes, also nice hinges & latches, I put foam in the bottom & they hold a bunch o' flies

Did something similar with a box we brought back from Ireland that had silverware in it. Knocked out the dividers and put foam in it, and made slices into the foam with a scalpel.

I bought the case at Michael's in the art supply dept. Glued foam in it....added flies.

I also use old video cassette boxes, glue in some slotted foam......add flies.

Slotted foam is available thru Bear's Den.

Bud I saw that top box at hobby lobby on Saturday and thought the exact same thing it looks like, you just acted on it and I didnt.

When tying a bunch, I store them in 3x4 ziplocks from Jann's.
For fishing storage, I like Altoids tins lined with foam.
After amassing too many Altoids, I found blank tins about the same size at papermart.com

What a great place Chris!

Eureka! These would be the coolest little individual fly shadow boxes.

You could go Shakespeare and put a dozen of them into a shadow box.
