Bluegill - Big Bluegill

Do you love big bluegill?

I want to make fly box using an old cigarette case, and I'm sure some of you have made your own fly boxes out of various things. I was wondering what type of stuff you guys attach to the box to stick the flies into? Or know of a source where I can get a nice looking piece of material or slotted foam to put inside of it.

Post photos of your homemade boxes if you got em!

That makes sense Shannon.
Come to think of it, none of my tackle storage is waterproof.
My largest tackle box isn't, my smallest fly box isn't.
I guess I'll just have to be vigilant and keep my "powder dry."

Saved  several foam sections  that came from Swedish Pimple purchases .Now to locate some Altoids boxes .

I know my box isn't homemade but I do have to modify it to get my needed tackle in it, including porcupine quill and a thermometer. I need to do a better job on my fly storage in the box but overall it keeps my hooks , sinkers , quills at the ready in the smallest box capable of keeping things organized. This box is all I need to put fish in the boat.    LOFR

Yeah, it may be all you need - but whats the fun in that?!
