BOX !:    This little green case looks innocent enough, until you crack it open and realize you’ve stumbled upon a veritable cabaret of hand-tied seduction. Sparkling shrimp with eyes like old sailors, flashy streamers strutting in pink sequins, and demure naturals in tans and olives for when the trout are feeling aristocratic.

Each fly was tied with care (and possibly a dram of whiskey), balanced between tradition and flair. Some are show ponies, some are workhorses—but all are eager for their moment in the current.

The foam-lined box is included, because what’s the point of temptation if you don’t have a proper stage?

BOX 2:       Inside this tidy metal case lives a full regiment of hand-tied nymphs and wets, standing in perfect formation. Marching in earthy browns and olives, they’re the quiet professionals of the river—no sequins, no drama, just the serious business of tempting trout.

Of course, a few cheeky rebels have snuck into the ranks: bright pom-pom egg flies in shameless neon, winking like court jesters in a sea of solemnity. They know something the trout don’t—sometimes subtlety needs a splash of audacity.

Each fly tied with patience (and perhaps a muttered curse), ready to drop into the current and get to work. The case itself is built like a vault, because treasures this organized deserve proper quarters.
