Sound advice from Graham, as one would expect.
At the risk of incurring mocking laughter I have to say, though, that I've become converted to one of those rigid plastic boxes that matchmen use. I've never thought I'd own one, let alone use on, but there you are...
I use the smallest of the Shakespeare boxes (Beta, I think it's called). Its primary virtue is that it is completely waterproof - it can even be put down in thick, marshy mud or shallow water. And no matter how dirty it gets, it can be rinsed afterwards. It doubles up as a seat, too.
Its only disadvantage is that it is uncomfortable to carry any distance.
So there you have it: a black Beta box. If you can withstand the mocking laughter from Man-At-Nash/Fox etc. "spessi" types, a plastic box is more practical for mobile travel-light fishing than you might imagine.
