By no means a complete assortment of all the flies I would carry out onto a lake, this picture depicts many of the flies I carry. The caddis pupa and adults (Elk Hair Caddis and Stimulator for Traveling Sedge), the damsel and dragons, scuds, Callibaetis nymphs and adults, Chironomid pupas. Previous posts have shown the woolly buggers I prefer. I don’t show an ant, diving back swimmer, adult damsel or any number of other patterns I have and sometimes carry. These are the basics that I build upon. You could incorporate Pheasant Tail Nymphs, Hare’s Ears, Adams or Griffiths Gnats. I am assessing and planning for the upcoming season.
