Also very important: write your name and phone number on the box.  =)

Ditto on the prior suggestions. Flat plastic boxes can also sometimes be found for cheap at Staples or Office Depot. Add some inexpensive craft foam and voila! A good bulk storage item could be a cigar box. Many cigar/pipe tobacco stores have been pushed out of existence but there are a couple still around. They usually have  a pile of them stacked up in various sizes for a buck or so. Good for storing materials. You can get some leftover whole tobacco leaves in some of the boxes. This is is supposed to help keep bugs from damaging you fly tying materials too! It has worked for me.

Please, PC comments about tobacco stores etc not needed. Heard it all. I'm not advocating smoking.

Google "make your own fly boxes" and there's plenty of ideas for fly boxes on the cheap from using Altoids boxes to larger "bug barn" types. Also keep an eye on big box home improvement store sales fliers - often they sell a set of 4 Planos or Flambeaus for cheap and each box has movable dividers for max flexiblilty for home storage.

This one might be kinda dumb but I thought I would get input from the more experienced.

I started tying flies and you probably know how the story goes, now I look at my coffee mug where I store them and I have 50+ flies.

All different kinds, some for bass, some for trout, some for carp, ALL for anything that will bite the darn things.

How do I organize the end result?  Lacking good organization skills, I have a few fly boxes but do I now need to drop $10/box to hold these things.  So suggestions on homemade boxes appreciated.

What do I do when I go out?  I don't feel like bringing 5 boxes with me.  I know pick and choose what I am targeting and bring those but what do people do for storage.

Suggestions appreciated.

Thanks.
