由 Lee Edwards The Dr. Slick Fly Box for Necklace is a compact, waterproof fly box designed for fly fishing enthusiasts who want easy access to their flies while on the water. Here’s what you need to know:
Key Features:

2. Waterproof – Keeps flies dry even in wet conditions (submersible or splash-proof, depending on model).
3. Durable Construction – Made from sturdy materials to withstand rugged fishing environments.
4. Secure Closure – Typically features a snap, screw-top, or gasket seal to prevent accidental openings.
5. Interior Foam or Slots – Holds flies securely in place (varies by model—some have slotted foam, others silicone inserts).

Pros:
✔️ Convenient Access – No need to dig through pockets or packs.
✔️ Great for Wading – Keeps essential flies handy while moving in the water.
✔️ Minimalist Design – Perfect for carrying just the flies you need.
Cons:

Best For:
– Euro-nymphing or small-stream fishing where quick fly changes matter.
– Travel-friendly setups when you want a minimalist option.
– Wet wading or situations where a traditional fly box isn’t practical.
