Hello fellow Fly Tiers.
I have look through the forum and can not find any posts about plans for a portable fly tying box. I am a firefighter and want to build a box that i can back and forth to work so i can tie in my down time. I have had trouble finding a good set of plans on the web. Does anyone have and suggestions?

My wife and I fished Coot this evening( Saturday the 5th) and caught a dozen or so. She caught a nice fat 14 incher. She used a spincast with a small float and a 1/100 pink micro jig. And a small split shot for cast a little farther. She was on fishing 5 feet of the bank in about 2 foot of water and caught most of the fish. Stubborn me. I used a fly rod and battled the wind until right about dark. I was using a white micro jig 1/100. When the sun was setting and the trout started feeding top water I switched to a size 18 Adams and caught one. There were sone folks sitting on the dam down the way using white sparkle gulp trout bait and pulling them in one after another. Good luck see ya out there.

We are from Lake Lotawana Missouri. It's a little SE of Kansas City. I just the Bass Pro in Independence and they do have the open front white river lost last float tubes on sale. If I can convince the wife that we need a couple of them I will be floatin n' fishing soon. Thanks for the help!
Hello all! First day on the forum. I'm a brand new trout hunter and beginner fly fisherman. I've been trying flies for a few months now and realize how addictive this sport is. Unfortunately I live near Kansas City and It's not a very short drive to a trout stream. I'm looking into getting a float tube for my honey hole crappie ponds and local bass lakes. Does anyone recommend a brand of float tube and weigh in on advantages or disadvantages.
On another note. My wife and I stayed at Lillies Landing over the weekend. What an amazing place. The resort is beautiful. The staff was excellent and very helpful. We used Steve Dickey from Anglers Advantage as our guide. Not only did we catch a lot of fish and learned how to fly fish. He taught us about trout and how they react and why they eat and when. I have hunted all over the US and fished all over Missouri and this was by far the best experience I have had. I look forward to my next stay with the Lillies and trip on Taneycomo with Captain Steve!
