Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

Who has suggestions for a nice large fly box ? I am just carrying bluegill flies, but I want one big enough to hold a large assortment so i know what I have. Also when I go away on fishing trips I carry a little of everything to make sure I have some back up to find out what they are biting. Thanks

Big fly box for less than $10. Using Plano 3707 one compartment utility box,  hot glue 2 mm  craft foam to bottom and lid then hot glue 3mm  craft foam strips to the lid and bottom foam.

That is an awesome selection

… excellent idea!

Thanks everybody.
I use old flip open VCR boxes I got from the video rental place many moons ago. Glue some foam inside, and they hold a bunch of flies. For day to day fishing, I find an altoid tin or two works better.

I use Umpqua pro guide their  great fly boxes and I also have some 3m boxes and Wheatley boxes hope this helps you
