As a recent inductee into the craft of fly tying (x-mas 05) I am amazed at the numerous pattern recipes for any particular fly. I think I understand the reasoning being a persons attempt to match a particular hatch on a particular body of water at a particular point in time. This aside, somewhere back at the beginning of time, there must have been a starting point or some standard for a certain fly. My question is, where would one find a starting point pattern recipe for common trout flys that haven't had someone's name slapped on them because they tweeked it a little to meet their needs? I'm not looking for one specific fly pattern but rather arrays of flys; IE. Caddis: Little Black, Green Sedge, Gray Spotted Sedge, Little Sister Sedge, Giant Orange Sedge.
Mayfly: BWO, Green Drake, Brown Drake, PMD, Trico, Red Quill.
Stonefly: Little Black, Golden Stone, Yellow Stone.
