Iain-
I'm with you on this one. I tie a lot and do variations on color, size, etc. They all go into a soft sided tackle bag with divided slide out trays that I use to stock a box at streamside. The bag pretty much lives in the car during the season and only comes in the house to restock it I've tried tying streamside or in camp, but I always seem to need something I didn't bring. I could bring a little of everything, but would need a kit the size of an old fashioned steamer trunk, which defeats the purpose.

I still dont understand why anyone ties at the waterside.
Tie more at home, carry some big fly boxes full of flies,
and fish at the waterside.

My wife & I were camping up in Michigan several years ago so we could fish
the Ausable. A fellow a couple of campsites over had his "portable" fly
tying kit. It filled the back end of his Suburban. It had two huge
(padded) handles on each end. The legs were made of what looked to be
about 4" round stock. His buddies helped him get it out of the Suburban
and set it up.
Every evening after his Scotch, he'd sit in front of his "portable" fly
tying kit with a Coleman lantern hanging from a 'sky hook' and swat bugs.
I never did see him tie a fly all weekend.
I've tried to keep mine a little simpler. If I'm really going
"heavy-weight", I've got two tackle boxes. One has all my hooks. The
other has everything else.
Good night,
Allan
