Re: Pre-rigged team of flies
I made a very simple system this afternoon gluing foam to each side of a 1/16 plastic sheet. I left a 1/2" space at the top and bottom for notches in which I first place the perfection look and then wrap the leaders till I can affix the last fly into the foam. I'll post photo's tomorrow. It works perfectly and fits an old case I have. Thanks for the suggestions.

Here ya go. Best Photo quality at the moment. Works perfectly...at least on dry land.

Pink? That will never work.
Actually a cool set-up. Nice and simple.

Re: Pre-rigged team of flies
Here's a thought: what about a foam cylinder inserted in, say, a small wide-mouthed water bottle? It might give you a better "handle" under streamside conditions than the current wide, flat (and maybe slippery!
) iteration.

Re: Pre-rigged team of flies
Creation that is a good idea. However, I'm neurotic about things being in their place and flat. Yes I said it... flat. I like things to fit into slots, spaces and not bulge. Strange, I know, but I like strange. This is my prototype, it might change, with all the excellent suggestions. This prototype is very very light. Now if I can just lighten the box up. olololo Does anyone know or heard of corrugated foam. Now that might make it easier to handle as well.

Re: Pre-rigged team of flies
fflutterly, nothing wrong with that creation. Looks like you've solved your dilemma well. However the beer coaster is cool.
I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
