I was going through some old boxes tonight and found two tackle boxes that I had forgotten about. One just had some basic fly tying stuff, but the other was a real prize. A 1940-1950’s era tackle box(found originally in a house my parents bought 15 years ago) full of old feathers in about a dozen colors, various natural hair patches, a number of very old freshwater trout flies, a vintage vice and some other various and assundry items. I really forgot I had any of this stuff, packed it away at least 10 years ago. It’s funny I was just starting to think about picking up the longrod again and blam…I find this stuff. Looks like I’ll be trying my hand at tying flies again this winter.
