Posts: 1	Hello Anglers. I am new to the sport but I am a long time fisherman both for sport and for commercial aspects. I was wondering what would be the 10 best flies to have in your flie box for early spring and summer on the east coast of Canada. I am interested in flie tying but right now I won't have the time and there is a fly shop near where I live where I plan to buy flies and try my luck but I don't really know what flies I should invest in. All freshwater where I fish and the water is clear with a rocky bottom. Any help or idea would be great. Thanks and Tightlines

Surprise AZ Posts: 6	i have had great success through out the years and united states with a fly that i tye. I learned about the fly in an article in American Angler article many years ago called a triple hackle fly, it is a small fly tyed ona size 22 hook, easy to tye and catchs all spiecies of fish. It is a tail and three hackles tyed consecutivly and finish the head off. The colors i found that work the best are as follows; grizzly which copies evrything from mosqitos to mayflys, brown, dune and black. With these in your box you will cover the full gamet of small flys you might encounter. Try them i promise you will be satisfied with the results.I'v cought bluegills, smallmouth bass and trout on this fly. It has been one of the few genaric flys i will carry. I much prefer the exact replicas and emerging patterns for the most part, But these flys are a great searching patterns that works.

York & Starlight PA Posts: 832	As others have mentioned you'd get better, accurate info, from looking up a fly shop in your area and asking this same question. However since you've asked you could consider these: Black Woolly Bugger with, or without, a BH or Conehead White Marabou streamer Gray over white Clouser minnow Black over olive, over white Clouser minnow Black Stonefly nymph Brown Stonefly nymph Natural Hare's Ear nymph Pheasant tail nymph Adams dry fly Caddis dry flies I'd get the Bugger, Marabou, and Clousers in #4 - #10. The nymphs in #8 - #14. The Adams in #10 - #18. And the caddis in #10 - #18. That assortment will catch trout anywhere in the USA and Canada.

North Carolina Posts: 18	These are all superstar flies that are a must have. I grew up fishing in New Brunswick for Brookies and one fly that I couldn't live without was a paramachene bell. It's a classic wet, but it always produced fish. You're in a great spot to fish and good luck!

Alexandria VA Posts: 1	Hi All, I recently moved down here from ME, and I have heard alot of this spring shad run...I have been eagerly awaiting the chance to break out the 5 weight and land something. Can anyone give me anymore info on the shad runs that happen around the DC area, as I live in Alexandria. Any help is greatly appreciated.
