Re: [VFB] RE: Hook Storage

Wayne,
I've been builing a serious inventory for 34 years, but tying for 49.
I have a few photos of the extreme sizes on my website:

Go to other pages to see what I tie on them.

Hi Don;

So, how many years have you been building up your inventory of material?

  I have 2 of those (like them), also an 8-stack compartment box rack, 
a 50-drawer untility cabinet, 4 or 5 saltwater hook compartment boxes, and 
assorted giant hooks hanging all over the place, with sheet-magnets scattered 
over holding unsorted hooks.  And those are the places I remember.  I also have 
lots of hooks scattered in tying kits- specifically for one type of fly, like 
in the shrimp-drawer or the #32 kit.  

  Sometimes I can find the hook I want on the same day I start looking.

  And fly storage and sorting is just about as bad.

  Hi Larry;

  This is what I started using:  
http://www.craftmates.com/locking.html

  Available in several sizes, they have spring loaded locks for 
each row, snap lids for each compartment, curved compartment bottoms, and are 
available from craft stores.  I've been placing hook box labels in compartments 
with hook but think I will make labels for outside each compartment.
