Description
Earlier this week I challenged myself to answer one question:
If I could only fish five trout fly patterns for the rest of my life, which five would they be?
One of the hardest parts wasn't deciding what to include...
It was deciding what to leave out.
The Stimulator came incredibly close to making my five-fly box, but in the end I couldn't justify carrying both it and the Elk Hair Caddis.
When you only get five patterns, every spot has to earn its place.
The full video is available now on YouTube if you'd like to hear the reasoning behind the rest of my choices.
Hooks I use: Risen Fly. Most of the tying materials I use come from J. Stockard. Both have been great to work with and I genuinely recommend checking them out if you tie your own flies.
