Flybox Labels

[midger]

If I found a box with a name and address I would get it back to them, I am sure I am not alone.

Actually, I think most flyfishers who found a flybox with a name/phone number on it would attempt to get the box back to the owner. I didn't mean to imply that they'd keep them, but I know without the labels it can be really difficult to return the box. I've found two over the years, neither with a label, and neither was returned as I was unable to find the owners, and I would've returned them if I had found the owner. Labels can't hurt obviously.

"Now if I fished only dry flies, I could probably get by with only ONE box...……"

I must be doing something wrong.

Now I am not saying that if I couldn't match the hatch with what I got I wouldn't borrow a fly or two.
