Used the Redington medium fly box to transport and store wet flies on a recent trip to Montana. The box is well-constructed and seems like it will last a long time. The clips on either side that open the covers are easy to open and seal the covers tightly.

The size of the box is good and bad. While I appreciated the high capacity, I found the box too large and bulky to comfortably fit in the pocket of my waders. I ended up transferring a small number of flies to an alternate box on our day trips. I think that if one were to wear a pack or vest with large pockets, this would likely not be an issue, but if one prefers to travel light when hiking in to fish smaller streams, this box might prove too large.

With so many fly boxes, how do you choose one? Not sure why some boxes cost so much. After all, all they do is hold flies. I chose Redington's Flybox because it is modestly priced, has a clear lid, storage on both sides, and it looks good. It has a lot of slits for holding flies. I mean A LOT! The slits grip the hook very well. The lid latch is easy to use. I can hold the box in one hand and open it with the same hand. I have two of these boxes. I have nymphs, dries, and streamers in mine. The clearance between the foam pads and the lid is sized right to allow large streamers. The box fits in my vest pocket perfectly. When I need more, I'll get the same one.
