Most common situation along all our guiding years is when a guest arrives with the flies meant for the trip, and he shows them to the guides… some bring trout flies that won’t really be used, some follow the list provided in a website not often updated, some follow some information on the web on sea trout from Wales. Not the same…
Funny thing is, most times it’s essentially wrong flies, unfortunately (for guest and guide!). The reason why: some people follow a text list where it says for instance “size 10 Prince Nymph”, but it ain’t the same one fly tied in a short shank hook to one in a 3x long hook which ends up looking like two flies in tandem… Second option won’t be picked by your guide, believe us…
This has led the lodge to have a wide variety of flies to offer, tied the right way, in the right hook (size and quality), etc.
But if you enjoy the preparation for your trip and want to tie your own flies, or simply prefer to use flies tied by you, well, follow our list of tips!
Must-have patterns that can’t be missing in your fly box (we’ll mention 2 of each of the following):
