chugbug27 0 Report post Posted November 28, 2020 I've been going through David Hughes' "Essential Flies" book hoping to put together a single box of trout flies I can take pretty much anywhere, anytime, and have the "essentials". I'm not sure that's what I'm going to end up with, but it's fun trying. Anyways, I've finished the dry fly section: Next, on to the nymphs... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
