I thought I'd make a start on my fly box for some small stream assaults I have planned.  I've decided to keep it simple, 8 patterns in a couple of sizes.

My Duo fly, a big buoyant mess of deer hair, CDC and aerowing.



Black foam beetle, good for making a plop as it lands and getting the trout looking up.



PTN, the only nymph I think I'll ever need.





Flashback hares ear, after the PTN this is my other go to.



If all else fails, bait it is! 




A couple more dries to add and a small streamer pattern to be decided and I'm all set.

The lightweight streamers have been added! Tied on a Dohiku size 10 jig with a 3.3ml tungsten bead.

Modelled after some soft plastics I've caught on before.

Nice fleas Liam, not sure about the worms though.

Interesting choice.

I think you are going to be having fun!

I would add some small dries, something like a 16 Grey Duster or a traditional Iron Blue Dun. I used to see lots of very small non descript greyish flies hatching.

[Liam Stephen]

Thanks guys. The other 2 dries will be a small F-Fly (16-18) and a CDC and Elk (14-16).

Dirty Duster Liam, one of the most versatile dry flees you can have (good spider pattern as well btw)

[Liam Stephen]

A couple more flies have been added.

First up another nymph, the brassie.  I fancy them as buzzer/bloodworm imitations.

Im struggling  to add another image to this post so will post separately.

Next a simple F Fly. For all those small  things.

Those F-Flies look fishy Liam

[Liam Stephen]

Thanks Mike they are very similar to a fly that I used to buy from you at Haddo. Simple but effective

Size 14 Cdc and Elks. An all time favourite of mine

Either you have wee hands or those are really size 8's   

[Liam Stephen]

It's the girly hands Rob. Good for making fish seem really big though

This fish was only a mere 10" but in my magic hands......
