Product Description

This fly box is a classic example of English sporting craftsmanship from one of the most respected names in fly fishing. Precision made from lightweight aluminum, the compact case was designed to protect and organize an angler's carefully chosen selection of flies while remaining unobtrusive in a fishing vest or jacket pocket.

Inside, the box is filled with hand tied trout flies, each fashioned from fine feathers, fur, silk, and tinsel in patterns developed to imitate the insects found on trout streams. Every fly reflects the remarkable patience and skill of the fly tier, where careful proportions and meticulous handwork can make the difference between a passing glance and a strike. Together, the Wheatley box and its collection of flies offer a lasting tribute to the artistry and tradition of English fly fishing.
