Description

The iconic Richard Wheatley Fly Box with a modern interior. The Richard Wheatley 6″ Easy Grip Fly Box with Swing Leaf has been developed with especially designed slots that allow you to slide flies in bend first. As a result, they are set in place without crushing or bending the delicate hackles of the fly.

This aluminium fly box is 6 inches long and 3 1/2 inches wide and 1 1/8 inch deep. This model comes with easy grip foam in the both the base and in the lid. Plus it has an additional swing leaf in the centre which almost doubles it’s capacity. The Richard Wheatley 6″ Easy Grip Fly Box with Swing Leaf has the capacity for up to 540 flies!

This is housed in the same aluminium case as the original Richard Wheatley design. Hand made in the Wheatley Midlands Workshop.
