Hi Bill I was going to suggest the English Fox box but I did not think the reservoir (boat) model was available in north america. I have 3 Fox boxes for my trout and salmon flies and they are very good. The flies are held securely in plastic clips. The Bug Luggage US version has the same clips but is not quite as good especially the box hinges. There is a smaller dry fly version of the standard box which has small serrated grips. I plan to buy one next time I go to England. We have large boxes available here in Canada. They are basically a plastic handgun carrying box with raised foam inserts top and bottom. Popular with saltwater fly fishermen in particular.
