Actually, I think most flyfishers who found a flybox with a name/phone number on it would attempt to get the box back to the owner. I didn't mean to imply that they'd keep them, but I know without the labels it can be really difficult to return the box. I've found two over the years, neither with a label, and neither was returned as I was unable to find the owners, and I would've returned them if I had found the owner. Labels can't hurt obviously.
"Should you cast your fly into a branch overhead or into a bush behind you, or miss a fish striking, or lose him,or slip into a hole up to your armpits-keep your temper; above all things don't swear, for he that swears will catch no fish."

"Now if I fished only dry flies, I could probably get by with only ONE box...……"

I must be doing something wrong.

Now I am not saying that if I couldn't match the hatch with what I got I wouldn't borrow a fly or two. :twisted: :bananadance:
Denny Crane: Ah. You can see them in there. Look at the crystal clear water. My fly went right by his nose. Eat it you picky *.
