It’s been a while since I have really excited about a new product range that we’ve added to our store. Actually, no. It’s only been about two weeks, but when a big one like this comes along, it needs mentioning. So, it is with a great sense of pride that I am now able to announce that Richard Wheatley Fly Boxes are available in Australia at the Troutlore Fly Tying Store.

If you don’t know these fly boxes by name, you surely will by look. Their classic elegance and styling has been with Richard Wheatley fly boxes for the past 160 years. But of course, great designs change and adapt to modern needs. So, along with the absolute classic salmon fly boxes that Wheatley is so well known for, there are some clever adaptations.

The Rolls Royce of Fly Boxes

Indeed, the Wheatly 1609 has been called the “Rolls Royce” of fly boxes. It delivers a big selection of individual compartmetns in bot the base and the lid. These compartment models are erfect for storing plenty of dry flies without damaging the hackles.

Easy-Grip foam models have also been added to the range of aluminium flry boxes from Richard Wheatley. This includes the 4602EG model that offer massive storage capabilities with it’s swing leaf insert. Plain foam models are also on offer. Further to this, a lot of variety is available with mixing and matching storage options.

If the classic aluminium styling is not your thing, the plastic shell Fox Boxes could get your attention though. These sturdy boxes come in two sizes and a range of colours. They have a non absorbent ‘hook grip’ interior that allows flies to sit up off the base with plenty of clearance. These are perfect for dry fly boxes when you want to protect delicate hackles, yet secure the flies in pace.

Of course, the range of Wheatley Fly Boxes is incredibly large. There are more variations than you could ever need in fly boxes. We are always happy to source a specific box to suit your needs. You can purchase from our existing range of fly boxes direct from the Troutlore store in the Fly Boxes catergory. If you can’t find a product you are specifically looking for, get in touch and we will see if it can be sourced and kept in stock. Plus, you can keep up to date with new releases through our newsletter and social media outlets.
