    Default suggestions for "year round," flies?

    hey guys,

    i want to put together a box that will work in August, or December ... as of now, the only fly's in the box are stone fly nymphs... what are some other bugs found year round? scuds perhaps? not sure what the life cycle is like for them.... sculpins perhaps? again, not sure how active they are in the cooler months...


    any suggestions would be fantastic... and usually spot on!

    thanks guys,

    if every cast caught a fish, it would be called "catching" not "fishing"

    Just check a hatch chart for waters near where you will be fishing and put your box together that way.

    i thought about editing the post to say "what other creatures," instead of bugs... why the red bead head?
    thanks for the suggestions so far guys...

    You could fish a Zebra Midge any day of the year and have a real good chance of catching a fish.; same for the Worm/IPW.
