That is what I think too, they a pretty nice, but quite expensive. Last time I was thinking on sew my own, but first need to see some models.
I have made a wooden box, with a lexan tray, and spool holdes, but now it has become small. My idea was not a "streamside" bag, but was not out of my target bag. I want some that I can carry out from my dinner table as fast as possible, when my girlfriend has the dinner ready. I have no other place to tie flies.

They range from very simple and inexpensive to very elaborate and much more costly. I use an old tackle box that has slide out trays on the top and a deep section at the bottom plus zippered pockets on the sides and back. The bottom section holds the vise and tools and large items, while the trays hold small tools, thread, dubbing, etc and the pockets hold hackle and stuff like that. I don't think I'd buy one of the ones that are specially made to be tying kits. The ones I've seen in the shops are very nice and well made, but seem very expensive also. Take care and good fishing. -John Oregon --- Jacob Raketich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Orvis sells one, but its not cheap - $90 or so.
