Selecting Flies for Trout Fishing
Quite naturally two of the most important items in fly-fishing outfit are the fly-book and its contents. To select intelligently the flies upon which your Trout Flies, success or non-success will vary greatly depend it is necessary to take into consideration a number of facts known to be generally applicable. As a general rule avoid brilliant flies; flies of subdued coloration, except in wilderness streams where the trout will take anything, are practically the only successful ones. Upon very dark days, or when the water is slightly flooded and discolored, they should be lighter in color and somewhat larger than those used when both weather and water are clear.
Flies of numbers eight, ten, and twelve, are generally the best, number eight being the most universally effective, although late in the season, or at any time when the stream is very low and clear, numbers ten and twelve and occasionally even smaller are to be preferred. Personally I would be satisfied with the following trout flies in good quantity and range of sizes: coachman, grizzly king, cowdung, Cahill, Beaverkill, queen of the water, brown hackle, Montreal, and March brown.
