Default Tying from the last month

Well i've being doing a fair bit of tying over the last 4 weeks and decided this evening, instead tying I would sort out all boxes of flies from the past month.

I just recently refinished a big wooden box that I'm going to use for freshly tied flies, prior to sorting them into the smaller boxes I take to the river. I've finished it in yellow (which I'm not sure on, looking for opinions on that)

first one is some seatrout flies I've tied using scraps (not that great)

Nice collection of flies you have there Gary

But I do have to ask, does that fly box have 2 wheels or 4 ? That's the largest fly box I think I have ever seen.

Very nice collection of flies, you tied all those in a month? some really nice beetles in there Brannan, but the yellow doesn't really show them off as good as white would, but just my opinion, thanks for showing us your box.

Thanks very much, Wingman. I have tied maybe another 30-50 more but they were lures for a friend. The beetles are very simple to tie, but very deadly on the little streams I fish. I'll get my marco set up and take some proper pictures of them.
