Our idea was to build the fly boxes that represent Montana’s legendary trout fishing. What that meant was incorporating a new medium and technology with a precision, computer-controlled router to produce the quality and artistic look.

Fly boxes essentially start as these beautiful pieces of wood. Designing the prototype meant months of hand making boxes and building jigs and templates.

“A lot of people out there look at Montana as a mecca for fly-fishing, and being a quality wooden fly box from Montana is one reason I think it was such a great fit,” Simon Perkins, senior manager of Orvis Adventures and Hunting, said. “The story behind it and the craft in every single box does a great job of embodying those Montana rivers.”
