For one thing, we anglers are seldom asked to explain what keeps us casting, keeps us hoping to catch something.  It's no mystery to us. Perhaps the only people who are puzzled are those who don't do it. Ron Schara in 101 Years of Fishing Rick -- You received this message because

I have been wondering where I could find hooks to use for tying fly's on for my daughter and I. I saw the suggestion for http://www.fullingmill.com/, but they are based out of UK, do you order them from the UK site any other suggestions? I would also like build some 1/2 x 12 x 12 boxes for

Jim, 1. There was just a hook-swap that you could have joined and gotten a long-term supply of your fav. hooks very cheap. 2. Depending on whether you are just storing flies or want to use the fly box for fishing, there are lots of choices. For boxes that I just store flies in, I use thin

Another option is to go to your nearest hospital or surgery center and ask to talk to their materials management person. Ask them to sell you several of the largest sharps counting boxes that they use for surgery needles and blades. They are little red plastic boxes with foam on one side and a
