I'm always curious about what flies fisherman carry - how many, how
extensive the variety. Anyone here favor the minimalist approach - 2
or 3 patterns (say, a mnidge, a humpy, a bead pattern) in a spread of
two or three sizes? I never quite get down to this, though I suspect
it'll absolve me of the sin of having more gear otherwise than I
need, if I can achieve it.


I only use half a dozen or so patterns, you'll find them under Artificial
Flies on my website. In fact I'm just back from a week fishing for wild
brown trout and only used four of those patterns. To answer the obvious
question, yes I do blank now and again, but doesn't everybody
That doesn't mean I don't carry more, my fly boxes are as full as anybody
elses. Have a look under Flyboxes on my site to see what I mean.
