well, I'll put it to you this way...only thing I don't have yet is a thermometer-but I can grab the one out of my fishtank-it's digital :)  and a vest--got a fanny pack but no vest yet--or one of them silly hats ::)--so gosh darn anxious to get out and try on water---just want to get out and go >:(

the flies on the list that I got will hold me over (less lost flies) for the first couple months....

what are we talking as to quantity of flies--how many of each should I have? today I got mostly 2 of each that I got except for the adams parachute which I got 5 of ???

depends...get 3 of each till ya see what your area's fish like...the D by me see's about 6 drift boats a day so the fish are pretty much fished over hard...i carry alot but thats because my strench of river is very fussy....the only thing thats gonna kill ya is hanging up flys on branchs and stuff in the beginning....dont worry about casting the length of the river...stop and slow up....fish ya way out slowly.. kneel on the bank & see whats happening first....fly fishing ain't  chucking & cranking like bass fishing....wait for a rise then hunt that fish...take a small minnow net and scoop the water ...see what they are eating ...dont laugh at this but i've matched many a hatch by looking at my front bumper on the dodge after crossing the callicoon bridge....you can never have too many adams...gold bead heads...hendricksons ...caddis...quill gordins...cahills...bl ue wing olives... prince nymphs.......  i think i bust off aleast 2 dozen flys a year.... ;)

went down to TFB's parents today for dinner, and checked the creek---got a great idea about matching the hatch...there are no fish in the creek other than what they will stock a week from Tuesday, but I waded out and was checking out the bugs--I matched a couple I caught to flies in my box--Quill Gordon's I believe...the creek isn't really that big and since they are stocked trout, I'll have my spinning rod along with the fly rod--gotta get practiced up----1 more week !!!!!!!!!

they stock the 1 creek about 200 yards from TFB's parents house..got a little area all cleared out for a couple chairs n a table...my dad has a hard time standing for too long a time, so with it being his first time out since he was a kid, I got to make it comfortable for him ;)...I was mistaken, the flies I saw Sunday were Blue Quills...not Quill Gordons

sometimes topher ya gotta check the color of the bottom of the fly...(the part of the fly the fish see's...) if it has a yellow color on the bottom their yellow quills..... :unsure:

Thanks !..it had blue wings and a blue/gray body...I confused it with the quill gordon because of the color of the body....got lots to choose from, I am trying to hard to fast to learn it all, or so I am told...but its an obsession..kinda like going ice fishing with whatever is needed, cuz you never know what they will bite on that day...but knowing what they want is 3/4 the battle...
