I do not have access to steelhead or salmon. In my lakes and streams I have rainbows, apache's, browns, and they say cutthroats at Big Lake. Lot of lakes here. But that is the species. Might want to know about dries but fish mostly wets.
My question is this. If you were to buy a dozen each of 10 different flies for these species, which ten flies would you buy....
or....make it which 20 flies would you buy and what would be your top ten? I doubt anyone will go to the trouble to do me 20. But one can ask.
the fly, color, and hook size?
Any advice would be appreciated.
PS.....I capsized my boat and lost ALL my flies. Starting over. My lost flies were a bunch of flies I didn't know much about anyway. Collected them as a beginner. Now I would like to stock up on known good flies.
