We all must have them. What I mean is - flies that were once seldom off your cast and are now seldom out of your box. Two for me are Clan Chief and Soldier Palmer. Not sure why though.
All of them at the moment. :(
Peter Ross and the Blae & Black. Was never without these flies on my cast at one time, but now they sit in neat little rows waiting the call.
For me its a silver butcher
Used to catch a lot of fish on it , also dont know why I dont use it :shock:
I have a line of Alexandra in my wee box. I cannae mind the last time I used one.
They were once great with the sea-trout, may still be.
I hardly ever use any split-winged dries anymore. Usually fish dry spiders, or hair winged/CDC flies now.
For me Butchers,Teal/blue/silver,Alexandra are flies i never use .
Just about any winged wet fly (mind you I think I'm starting to become a dry fly purist :shock: )
Peter
Alexandra. Such a bonny flee too.
The flies (if you call them that) that never leave my box, in fact the box they are in doesn't even leave the house are :-
Fritz's
Humungus
Zonker
Yellow, Black, Green Dancer
