Favourite Flies

[Guest Steve Burke]

If you were forced to use just two dry flies and two wet flies or nymphs for the rest of your life what would they be?

 

For me, they'd undoubtedly be a coachman and a deerhair sedge for my dry flies, plus a black buzzer and a lightly leaded shrimp for my nymphs. I don't fish dry fly only chalk streams and I've yet to find a water where one of the above haven't worked well at some time or other.

I agree with you on the shrimp. However, I only fish sal****er so my flies are probably bigger than yours.

I dont use dry flies only fast sinkers with lots of lead so that I can strip fast close to the surface or let it sink.

Cheers

My 2 dry flies would be a lunns particular and the good old grey duster.

 

For nymphs i would have to choose as you the black buzzer and the pheasant tail nymph.
