ALVIN DEDEAUX: All right. Another piece of essential gear are your fly boxes. They come in all different sizes and shapes and probably the most important thing is just make sure that your flies will fit in them. If you got big flies and you want to have flies with big spaces; your smaller flies, you're going to have smaller spaces You can keep a lot of flies in a box like this or even this little box I carry on my lanyard. One thing, there's so many different fly boxes; it's kinda hard to say what's the best for any certain situation, but one thing you do want to remember is you can put a lot of flies in one of these boxes, so it's always a good idea maybe to put your name and your phone number or maybe even your address or something on your fly boxes so that if they do fall out of your pocket and go floating down the river and somebody finds them, they'll more than likely return them to you 'cause they'll feel guilty 'cause they know who you are now and there's your name and there's your phone number. But it's kind of hard to say what's the best box, probably whatever you like and as long as you can get your flies to fit in it.
