C&F Lightweight System Fly Case
The C&F Lightweight System Fly Case is an ultra-light modular fly box designed for anglers who want to reduce the weight of their gear without sacrificing organization or versatility. Built around C&F Design's proven Universal System, it accepts two interchangeable System Foam inserts (sold separately) while weighing less than half as much as the standard waterproof Professional Guide Series fly boxes.
Its increased internal depth prevents bulky flies from being compressed, making it an excellent choice for dry flies, CDC patterns, parachute flies and other high-profile designs. Whether you're hiking into remote mountain streams or traveling with minimalist gear, the Lightweight Series offers premium functionality with virtually no unnecessary weight.
What is the C&F Lightweight System Fly Case?
The Lightweight System Fly Case is a modern interpretation of C&F Design's popular Universal System. Instead of a waterproof shell, it features an exceptionally lightweight polymer construction while maintaining full compatibility with the interchangeable System Foam inserts that have made the Professional Guide Series a favorite among fly anglers worldwide.
By allowing anglers to choose and exchange different foam inserts, a single fly box can be configured for dry flies, nymphs, streamers, midge patterns or saltwater flies depending on the destination, season or target species. It is a flexible storage system designed to evolve with your fishing.
