I've used ALL types of fly boxes. Here's what I find is the best and most compact-Everyone gets stuff in padded envelopes via UPS and the mailman, right? If it's a rectangle, cut both long ends and, of course, the short end where you removed your mailed item. Now you have sort of a booklet which, when opened, has a nice padded bubbly plastic inside, right? Cut this padded booklet to the size you know will fit inside your fly bag (I used about 4x7")and put all your flies on both sides. It fits flat in your bag, you won't lose flies from the bubbly stuff and when you come home, just open the booklet, prop it open on top of your bag and all the flies dry just fine for the next time fishing. The very best envelopes are either foil outside (as in refrigerated packages) or those white plastic ones. These will not absorb the salt water moisture, especially at night, which could lead to rusting of your hooks if not dried properly. With this system, you can easily fit five packs of flies in any bag. ]
