Fly Fishing & Star Wars


As the release of the new Star Wars movie (The Force Awakens) approaches, it got me thinking about the two things in my life that I find absolutely fascinating, and how they could possibly be blended together.  I started to do a little searching online and found the funny meme at the top of the page as well as the picture below.  I also realized that if you can dream up some sort of idea, chances are, someone else has also had the idea and already started a Facebook page for it.


So in an effort to merge two things that make me incredibly happy, here are the fruits of my labors.

Return of the Jedi Fly Box.  
I ran across one of my lunch boxes from elementary school and it felt like a shame for it to just sit and collect dust in my parents basement.  So I did the only thing that seemed to make sense...I turned it into a fly box.




Star Wars streamside box.  
I found this small tin box at Target the other day and decided it needed to cross over to the dark side and become a fly box for my son.




Star Wars inspired flies.  
While I was kicking around some things that might improve this post, I decided to attempt to tie some flies that could relate to some Star Wars characters.  These are the best I could come up with but would really like to see other ideas if anyone feels inspired.  I think most of these are actually fishable too and not to far out there in terms of color combinations.
