I just replaced the badly hook-gouged foam fly patch on my Simms vest with a C&F CFA-25/S fly protector. It features micro slit foam rows to hold flies while they dry, and more spaces than I'll ever use in a single day. The slits are placed horizontal. It also has a clear plastic top so I don't knock flies off when I put on my rain parka or accidently brush against them. The sides of the protector are open for ventilation.
It was a bit costly, but like everything else C&F I own, it's a great addition to my tackle. The only thing I intend to change is to remove a little bit of the top over the closest row to expose a few slits for quick, temporary use without opening the top each time.
Anyone wanting to replace their fly patch might want to give this product some thought.
