what would you have for flies in it?
Reason I ask is that often I go through my guide pack and pull out 2 or 3 boxes of flies and my rod and leave the rest in my truck while fishing for the 15 to 20 minutes I found I could get during the day between appointments and other things. But carrying 2 to 3 fly boxes at times isn't necessarily a good thing, especially if one falls out and you miss it.
So I'm setting up a "go to" fly box of essential flies, small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, but I've got sooooo many different patterns that I'm drawing a blank as to what I really should use. (Blame old age or lack of sleep on this one)
So far I've got:
Bead Head Wooly Buggers
Wooly Buggers
Wooly Worms
Royal Wulffs
Usuals
Pheasant Tail Nymphs
Hare's Ear Nymphs'
Moby Dicks
Miller's River Specials
Hornbergs
So what else am I missing?
