I NEVER leave home without one!
The Mrs. bought one for me when I first got back into fishing.
Not soon after, I was loosing a few fish on one of the creeks, I checked my hook, sure enough, smacking on the rocks had bent the tip.
I pulled out the sharpener for the first time....problem solved.
I have one in every one of my pouches and gear bags.
But be careful, there are some that are garbage...like the one from White River, the best one is the Dr. Slick.
It has two grits, and they are perfect for your tiniest of hooks, up to about a #8. Bigger than that, you need to go to the next grit level.
"The accomplishment of flyfishing is all about the experience of diversity......and the occasional element of surprise."
