I use old Wheatley compartment boxes with the glass lids; also the much less expensive, but perfectly adequate Okuma which has foam on one side and lots of covered compartment on the other.

You need Ginger Rogers to make Fred Astaire stand up

Re: Storage of Soft Hackle Flies
I use clear DeWitt boxes (large 16 compartment type).
I have spent ours making sure the hackles stood correctly before I placed them into a numerous number of different boxes. In the end I found that it didn't matter that much anyway. Fish never take perfect flies.
The DeWitt allows for tons of flies and I can quickly identify the flies without opening a box.
