First Fly Box

OK, we're off and running.

If you were outfitting a fly box for a newbie what would you put in
it? Of course, a lot depends on the target fish and the location, but
in general I'm trying to get a general sense of distributions between
sizes and types. Some of the key parameters:
--how many flies? Dozens and dozens, or maybe just 10-15 to start?
--what distribution of types? a lot of variety, or keep it focused on
the old stand-bys?
--what distribution of sizes? again, a lot of variety with few flies
in each size, or a lot of one size?


Hi,

Here's my 0,02$ on the matter.

To your list I'd had a few Casula Dress and BeadHead Casual dress, they
look like nothing and everything around here (Quebec). I prefer nymph
and small ones (#12 & #14). A few easy dry, any CDC pattern is good
since it dosn't need floatant to float. Around here a good dragonfly
nymph is essential and loads of wooly bugger in a variety of color, fish
on a slow retrieve.

I would go for colour variation more than size variation. When you try
to match a hatch size, colour and pattern are important, less when your
a starter and you want to experiement.
