With all due respect BJ,I'd disagree 100%.
First I "usually always" dry my flies on a patch before putting them in a box....and 2nd,I've rusted and ruined far more flies from wet wading in shorts,leaky waders,going over waders/wading deep with fly box in vest pocket,fanny pack,fly box floating in boat bilge,canoe fills with rainwater overnight,falling in river...on and on....you name it,I've done it when it comes to rusting flies.
ALL if my fly boxes are now sealed watertight.....no issues......and they float.
