    ADVENTURE IN TO THE WILD HOME OF THE RIVER MAP FLY BOX 2018 PRODUCT CATALOG WELCOME TO STONEFLY STUDIO HOME OF THE RIVER MAP FLY BOX At Stoney Studio, our goal is to help others preserve special memories in life with a unique and personal hadcrafted item. Stoney Studio is a small Montana business that specializes in handcrafting, custom designing, and laser engraving quality hardwood River Map Fly Boxes Billings Gazette Photo Dec. 30, 2010 and other products for the y shing and outdoor adventurer. Like a lot of small businesses, Stoney Studio started out as a hobby. I soon realized that in the y shing industry, y tiers were looking for tools that would aid in their desire to tie that perfect y. When my son was young, he and I joined our local y shing club, Magic City Fly Fishers, and we started attending the weekly y tying classes. There I discovered the need for my son to have a portable y tying table. It wasn’t long before another member of the club asked, “Could you build me one of those?” Of course, then you need to be able to display your favorite ies. And what better way to display your favorite ies but in a box with your favorite river engraved on it. Hence, the River Map Fly Box was born. The rest is history. Dan Mazel Owner Stoney Studio STONEFLY STUDIO RIVER MAPS All our river maps are original. The maps are rst hand drawn and then scanned into the computer. From that point, the real artistic work begins! River maps do not necessarily t all nice and neat on a y box size.
