so do I need to tie flies in the 18 and smaller range? One of my dilemas is figuring out what flies to take on the water with me . I bought "Trout Flies For The Michigan Emergence Schedule" and of course only plan on bringing what flies are " in season" but should I carry every size hook size with me or are the the fish not that picky up here?

I live in northern MI, I will be after rainbows, browns, brookies, pike, smallmouth and largemouth bass, bluegill, and splake if I can figure out how to cach em. Oh yeah, we've got salmon here too. I bought a 8'6" 6/7 weight rod, and a 9' 8 weight rod. I think those will cover me for everything but the salmon. I mainly want to fish for trout but plan on goin after the bass when they are on their beds this spring, and salmon when they run in the fall

oops, guess I should have posted this in the tying forum

I just started out flyfishing. I bought a couple rods and traded some of my traps for a bunch of flys. Then last week I decided I want to tie flys too so I bought a danvise on ebay last night. So my question is now what do I need as far as tools go to tie flies? Does anyone know of any kits out there that are descent?

New to flyfishing and so I came here to bombard everyone with questions and hopefully learn a thing or two
