Much appreciated folks!

Trying to organise my flies and I'm really struggling with it. Streamers and nymphs I have down, but dry vs wet is a headache.

I guess it'll come with time!

Hah, nowhere near that many! Maybe about 100. Now I think about it, that seems a lot for someone just starting out :scared:

you don't have to get the label maker out photo. if you'd take me up on the coffee offer i might be able to help you out. watch those flys wss was blowing out, i've straightened a few right out already on fish. not kidding i'm done with them, not worth not landing fish. jr has been extra busy behind the vise tying to replace them.

Ok, you're on! I bought a bunch of those WSS blow out ones at the end of last year. Also got a bunch from a friend that (according to a different friend) are really nice.

Not trying to organise them precisely - just into categories (streamers, nymphs, wet, and dry) but I'm struggling differentiating between the last two. I know the hackle is much stiffer on a dry fly, so some are obvious - but some are not so obvious :confused:
