the new CF-2555's are great Glenn, picked one of them up today from the Grumpster.  I got the 5 x 5 .  I like them because they are slotted, they are deep enough to work in yet still fit in a pocket if need be, and they are waterproof...(with the way folks end up in the water, that is always a good point)

I've been using a pill box from the pharmacy, a couple of little tupperware type plastic boxes that are 2.95 at CT and one of those little rustproof Orvis boxes that they run on special for $9.95 with a dozen flies. Kind of a translucent orange color. Each of those are boxes built on multiple compartment concept. THey hold flies well, but I don't like trying to dig a fly out of those little compartments. Especially little bitty flies.

The other day I picked up a couple of used CF boxes.  I think I am going to like them much better. They have the foam rubber kind of stuff to hook each fly into. I like the way they look anyway, when the little bugs are all lined up, in formation, ready to march into battle.

Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."
