Indestructbile Floating Fly Boxes

by Fly Fishing Reporter on July 27, 2010

If you have young boys like I do, you can appreciate the value of an indestructible fly box that also floats. In my quest for such a box (and sanity) I've found the Orvis Lightweight Floating Fly Boxes to fit the bill nicely.

Step on it, fold it in half, or run it over (or give it to a 12-year old for a week). Orvis' Lightweight Floating Fly Box will pop back into shape.

These indestructible, floating boxes are 75% lighter than Orvis' adjustable boxes. They feature a rippled side for your nymphs and dries and a flat side for your bulky streamers (or those "creative" flies your kids come up with).

Orvis' Lightweight Floating Fly Box is constructed of lightweight, versatile foam and an abrasion-resistant exterior finish.

Getting what you need: $11.95
Maintaining your sanity: priceless

If you have a favorite fly box that can stand up to the terror of a 12-year old and floats to boot, leave us a comment below - our readers want to know!
