Barnsley Fly Box + 100 Assorted Fly Fishing Fly Kit

GREAT FLIES. Heck of an assortment at an unbeatable price. Quality is about as good as Orvis / Cabelas etc. You get 100 flies in a nice fly aluminum fly box... Just about anything you could ever need - drys , wets, nymphs, bead head nymphs, a couple of streamers (both wolly buggers) and a san juan worm.One thing to be aware of - and this isn't a criticism its just giving you a heads up. The flies are NOT packed in the box as shown in the pic. The box comes EMPTY and you get two little containers with 50 flies each. YOU will have to sort them and place them in the box yourself - so be prepared to do that. Its not a problem, but just know that you will be getting several of the same ones in various sizes so youll have to sort them. Some of them are also EXTREMELY small so have your hemostats handy when putting them in the box and start warming up your squinting muscles.Its a great assortment that should equip you for trout in any north American waters. I am very happy with the purchase...

Some people said this was hard to pack and they wish it didn't have compartments on 1 side, there are 1 options, 1 with compartments and 1 without...get the one without and you will be golden. I have big hands by big hand standards and have no issues taking flies out (no, I don't have skeleton fingers). The flies do come in 2 plastic containers, 1 with the dries and 1 with the nymphs and all of mine were tied quite well. Make sure you have about an hour to sort and pack the flies, I organized my flies by body (thorax/abdomen) color first, that made instant pairs of about half the dry flies. The nymphs did come out in 1 big ball, just shake them and they will begin to fall apart. Great setup!! Nowhere does it say it's waterproof, just to throw it out there, it is not a waterproof fly box.

Great box, god flies. The box is aluminum and is almost large enough to hold all of the flies in the foam. Be careful, because the compartment side will smash your flies when you close the box if you are not careful. Flies are assortment of everything to get you going, would definitely buy again!! update on 26 November 2013, went fishing for a rare fish called a Lenok that is native to only a few streams here in Korea, these flies worked GREAT, caught 2 Lenok and 1 Rainbow on dry and nymphs from this set, the fish wouldn't even touch the flies I bought from a local Korean shop.

The flies are in great shape and appear to be ready to eat. They are on barbed hooks if that makes a difference to you. I'd prefer that they be barbless. The fly box isn't great. It doesn't provide much room for the flies and is smashes the larger flies down when closed. These flies also come in a tangled mess, but if you're a fly fisherman you're used to untangling things.

Comes in 2 small containers marked dry and nymph. Had 50 dry and 49 nymph. Im taking a star not because it was short a fly but because as I was putting them in the case I noticed at least 5 Flys where the thread was unraveling. This could potentialy get an update if I find they are not tied well once I start using them.

Does not come pre-organized like the first picture, but still has a great selection of flies.It is not like some of the other fly-box kits that have random flies, all seem to hold up well and match the hatch very easily.

These flies allowed me to catch fish on the fly rod right away! Great gift for a beginning fly fisher!

The flys were fine, but I would rather have a box with foam on either side, and not the small boxes with spring loads tops. They might be good if you have small hands and fingers. I have large hands and it is difficult to pick the flies out of the compartments, especially if you are standing in the middle of a river with the wind blowing.
