"go to" flies

Everyone always ask me what are your favorite go to fly's

so I have made a list, I would have six of each.

Dries
    Black Gnats
    Adams
    Lt. Cahills
    Wulffs (White, Royal, Adams)
    Stimulators (Yellow, Olive, Orange)
    Humpies (Red, Green, Yellow)
    EHCs ( Elk Hair Caddis)(Tan, Black, Brown, Olive)

(PMD) Pale Morning Dun

Nymphs
    G.R.H.Es (Black, Natural, Olive)
   P.T.N (Pheasant Tails nymph) (Natural, Black, Olive)
    Soft Hackles (Orange, Green, Red)

     Wooly Buggers (Black, Olive, Rust) bead head

Chili Peppers( Yellow, rust, Olive)

Streamers
assortment??

Terestrials
    Foam Hoppers( Green, Tan, Yellow)
    Foam Beetles (Black, Green)
    Ants, Flying and Spent (Black, Red/Cinn)
   
     I think that this will be a good starter set later on add

some BWO's (Blue Winged Olive)in the mix,

then add some emerger type flys.

Klinkhammer Special &, Emergent Sparkle Pupa

are a couple that come to mind. Of course the

soft hackles well fished as emergers.

some winged wet flies, fished down stream and across. now out of

fashion but still a great addition to any fly box.

Hendrickson, Mallard and Claret, Golden Olive,

Alexandra, Peter Ross, Teal Blue and Silver, Laramie,

Queen of the Waters, Proffessor,

Yellow Sally and any of a hundred others.

don't forget a Muddler or 2, maybe a clouser

Until one learns to recognize hatches, seasons, temperature, time of day, etc.,

 it is easier to give them some basics that will catch fish.
