muskymatt Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 I'm prepping for my annual trip into the park for trout opener and want to expand my brookie flies inventory. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muskymatt Posted April 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 what do you currently have in your inventory? Wolly buggers, Mudler minnows, Mickey finn, Allys shrimp and a few black patterns. black seemed to work last year with some yellow and orange in it.

I just read an article in Ontario Out of Doors mag this week about keeping things simple with fly fishing, the guy talks about ditching the vest, and just bringing what you actually need and not what you think you might need, 2 boxes of flies, a set of pliers/forceps, scissors/nippers, a few small split shot, extra tippet and leader material and that was about it. It made a lot of sense to me, I mean if you bring 20 fly boxes for a day trip, you're just looking for a rough day, with constant reties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bring rod, reel, 1 fly case,leaders and some extra tippet. That's all. I have my multi tool with me always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
