Friday Fly Day - Summer Manic Fly Collection Flies I'm Stocking Up On

Itäó»s now two months into the season and the official beginning of summer. The fly boxes have sure had a workout and itäó»s now time for a reset and to put those large, often heavy early season flies to the back and fill the box with a few summer favourites. Lower water means more technical, lighter nymphs and more subtle dries and so these are what Iäó»m filling my boxes with this December. Where flashy attracters held pride of place until now, itäó»s time to look to more natural representations from the Manic Fly Collection .

Beetles:

Para Improved Humpy Green

True Manuka Beetle

Foam Black Beetle

Subtle film flies:
