Just curious how do you guys organize your boxes, I have three boxes at the moment, a streamers meat box with dungeons and etc, and the other two box I’m just filling it up, idk if you guys divide it into a still water box, a rifle box, a dry box?
I also have other boxes that have taken way more than their fair share of abuse over the year hahaha,

At least a dozen, plus streamer wallets.
I have like 2 dozen
Well over 30 and three of those are giant boxes. Only one of them is with flies I’ve tied, the rest were Inherited from my dad. There’s probably another 4 boxes of flies in a random plastic box too.
What streamer box do you all use?
I currently have six crammed in my bag but they range greatly in size. Two shallow but broad boxes full of nymphs. Two more traditional tins full of mostly big fries and foam bugs. And the last two are small boxes one holding my smaller mayfly dries and the last being a little magnetic bottom box full of my midges, gnats, and tricos size 18 and smaller.
I fish with my wife mostly and carry extra flies. If waters are crowded I just stick close to her tie on her flies and act like the worlds okayest guide.
Actual fly boxes I carry with me? 3 Dry/Nymph/Streamer
Giant divided boxes I leave at home to refill the 3? 10
Not enough.
I have one fly box and two circular pop lid tubs: one containing like 20 of the same crawfish flies and the other containing streamers, floats and poppers.
I’m a month into fly fishing and I currently have two. One is double sided that I have organized into stonefly, mayfly, caddis and midge sections. Other box is a single that I have streamers, terrestrials, eggs and worms.
My goal is to get to a solo box for stonefly, mayfly, caddis, midge and terrestrial/streamer/eggs/worms, and box for barbless that meant for the Metolius River in Oregon, which requires barbless for the majority of the river. Then I’d have an empty box that I fill for each trip from the other four boxes based on time of year based on time of year/where I’m going, and I would have that box on the river with me.
