Re: [VFB] stream side tying kit

[J&A Burbank]

Del,   I have a Plano box that holds a lot of material and tools. I keep it stocked and next to my tying desk as I have a lot of my every day materials in it. It travels well and the vise fits in the top. The box is one that has 3 pull out boxes with the adjustable dividers and the top opens for more storage. Only draw back is the hackle doesn't fit in it well but I keep it in a separate box which I can toss in the car as well. I take tying gear on all my multi day trips where the vehicle is close buy. When backpacking we just hope we brought all the flies we need cause that's all you get to take.   As far as what materials to take, just stop and consider what flies you will most likely need and evaluate how much you really want to carry. As for me, I'd rather be over prepared instead of underprepared.   Some might say I carry to much on the car camping trips, but on many occasions I have been more then happy that I brought my tying gear, have come up with new patterns creek side and have been able to tie up more flies after fish destroying them and of course the FEW lost to the shrubs.   I hope this has helped Jim ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 18, 2002 11:15 AM Subject: [VFB] stream side tying kit I am wanting to set up a stream side tying kit to take with me. Any suggestions on what to pack? I fish the NC/SC mountains and ponds and lakes in the area. I dry / nymph / wet / terrestrial fish. I fish for brim ('gills) and trout.        Any suggestions on how to go about this would be appreciated.                                   Regards,                                          Del                     Delbert (Del) Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] Belton, SC My little spot on the River of Life SC Department of Natural Resources Home Page Fly Fishing World.com Home Page
