I have an old fly box that has a mish-mash of stuff I don't even know half of what they're good for. Every time I pick a few flies up, it's just one or two, but I don't have a nice organized set up. I thought I remember seeing someone on here that got like a hundred or couple hundred dollars worth of flies, including boxes and everything. Would love to have a nice assortment. Our fishing is Calgary area Bow.....smaller rivers like Highwood, Livingstone, etc and the smaller lakes. Basically all trout.

Suggestions?

Here's my pathetic repertoire:

Not a bad nymph selection . You sure need some dry flys tho...

Get yourself some elkhair caddis, a few sofa pillows and stimulators, Pmds , an adams or two,H&l variant ,grey wulff and few blue winged olive and you should be well on the way:)

Their 'Bow River Pack' is a great box. I pick one up every once in a while. It will give you an idea of the 'go-to' flies on the river so you can hone your purchasing.

The first thing that I would start with would be a couple caddis dries.
