3wt Posted May 21, 2007 Posted May 21, 2007 Okay, so after a frustrating day of fishing Saturday (due to my own rusty casting/sleep deprivation) I have decided to go on a tying rampage before my next trip at the end of the month. I started this excersice last night, but realized that I have gotten into a pretty deep rut with the flies I use, and would like to expand my horizons. So what would be in your ultimate current river fly box? I'll start the list off: #10 weighted olive Mohair Leech #14ish red San Juan worm <= #20 Trico Spinner #16 Elk Hair Caddis/olive body I'm interested in any other flies that produce. I've heard good things about wet hackles...
