I think I may have left it on top of my car last Sunday up near Locked Gate. It's a relatively small clear box with foam in it & a few trout flies. It has several rows of small sculpin streamers, a couple of rows of egg flies, a couple of rows of caddis nymphs, several rows of generic nymphs and a couple of rows of mostly foamy attractor dries. I'm 78.3% certain that I left it on top of my car last Sunday. I just discovered that it's the only box missing.

Nearly all were tied by me, so even though most are relatively simple patterns, it still represents quite a bit of time and energy. Please keep an eye out if anyone is out there. There's a beer or three in it for ya....or maybe just a hug.

If you could post detailed pictures of each pattern, perhaps with tying instructions, that would really help. To be clear, I didn't find any fly boxes, but I might in the future and want to be prepared.

This is really the meat of it. Plus some small chubbies.

For reference, the caddis is on a size 14 1x short with 4mm bead. Others were 16 with 2.3mm beads, some pheasant tails (PhilR tied those), perdigons etc...most streamers looked like that, on 8-12 jigged streamer hooks. Most with 4mm beads, a couple with 4.6mm. box is probably double this size.

I just sold a box like you described in a box I found, on the big site for $100.

If I would of known they were yours, I would of asked twice as much.

That sucks. Hope you get em back!
I lost the best pair of Smiths I've ever owned back in the 90s the same way. 78.3% certain I left them on the hood of my 1996 Trooper on a pullout along the Skykomish. RIP
