The “Potter’s Fly-Tying Box” is made to handle many of your fly-tying needs: at home and on the road.

At home, you can set it on any table to tie your flies. For road trips, you can pack the materials and tools you’ll need inside the box and take it with you. So if you run out of a hot fly while you’re on a trip, you can tie more at night and be ready to go the next morning!

Here are the specs:

1. The table measures 19 ½ inches long by 12 ¾ wide and 4 inches high. It weighs around 7 lbs.

2. It is made of pine and coated with polyurethane (if you don’t want it coated, just email me when you purchase).

3. The top is made in two sections: a 6-inch wide base that is hinged with the opening top, which is 12 inches wide.

4. A wood “limb” has been placed at the closing end of the top. A suede lace drawstring is attached to the limb and secures the top to a side “limb” that is grooved for a tight fit. This secures the top, while you are transporting it. In addition, a magnet closure is placed on the inside of the box for additional holding strength, while the box is closed.

5. A handle is placed on each end of the box to make it easy to carry around the house. Also, if you’ve got your hands full, just grab one end and carry it like a brief case.

6. Inside the box, you will find a spool rack that fits perfectly into its own compartment. This rack holds 14 spools and has a magnet run across the front of it for drying flies. There are holes drilled in each end, which allow the rack to be placed over the dowels on the table top – this keeps the rack from sliding. A handle has been added for easy pick up.

7. Three material and tool compartments are arranged perpendicular to the rack compartment.

8. On the top left edge of the box, you will find seven tool “holes”.

9. A vise bar runs 15 inches across the front of the box, which is convenient for right or left-handers. 

This table is named for Dr. Willis Potter, who taught me how to tie flies. Unfortunately he passed away in 2011 at age 84.  His self-designed bluegill flies, which he tied for 70 years, remain famous among his fishing buddies.  I was fortunate, in the fact, that he taught me to tie two of them:  The Timberwolf and the Hollywood Hooker - believe me, they are deadly!
