I put the materials in a ziplock bag for the fly I will be tying.
I only take what I need to tie each fly. Normally I tie three to four
different flies. That means that I carry three to four ziplock bags with
just enough materials to tie about a dozen of each fly. The ziplock bags
are marked on the outside with a marking pen for the fly the materials
will tie. I have built a tying station that will fit in a aluminum
camera case that hold all the tools I need and the bobbins with thread.
All of this stays on the tying station. I do remove the vise and lay it
flat on the tying station. The ziplock bags are laid on top of the vise.
My battery powered tying light is in the case too. This makes a neat
compact traveling kit and only takes me a couple of minuets to set up.
Over the years I learned to carry only what I need to tie the flies that
I will be doing demo tying on.
What if I might be asked to tie a fly that I had not planned on tying, I
just borrow what I need from the guy that uses a hand truck to carry in
his tying materials. LOL

OK guys n gals fess up. When you travel to tie at shows or go to a
camp or such and
take materials with you how do you store your kit for travel? I have
tried all sorts
from tying boxes, to tool boxes, bags to suitcases and am not happy
with any of
the methods.
What system do you use? Home build or shop bought?
