Lost Fly Box at 20 mile

It's a small box, tan bottom and held a veriety of streamers, black, red, yellow and some wolly's with a few crystal meth patterns. I lost it Sunday morning, 7:30-8 ish. It probably went to the lake, I was just downstream from rt5 bridge.
 
I had just landed the branch I was snagged in and it must have fell out of my unzipped pocket in some faster water. 
 
Thanks
Chris

    I lost a good net at Elk Saturday.  Thats sure cheaper and easier to replace than a flybox.  I hope you get it back, good luck.
     
    Did you have your name and number written on it?  I write that info on all my flyboxes anymore.

    Good idea, that way, even though you are out the flies, you may get a pleasant phone call thanking you for all your hard work or expense.

    I learned that on here.  A couple of guys actually had their flyboxes returned to them that way.  My Son mailed someones flybox to them last year.  He found it up near the falls on Walnut and mailed it back to the guy at the address on the box at his own expense.  It cost him maybe 5 bux or so.  There was a ton of nice flies in that box.

    Check your waders. Found mine in the boot. Thought for sure I lost the box at the creek.
