Quick take
Compact waterproof fly box with silicone seal that floats if dropped in water during wading or boat fishing.
This compact fly box from Flies Direct holds 126 flies, 63 on each side, in slit foam that takes the hook point directly. A silicone seal keeps the contents dry, and the box floats if it slips into the water. At about 5.5 by 3.5 inches and 2.4 ounces, it slips into a vest, shorts or jeans pocket for a day on the stream.

Strengths
