Minimalist Fly Selection

[Brook]

When I started this thread I figured I'd lay back, let others post there lists, and then come back with a simple answer.

But it turns out it isn't that easy. I fish mostly warm water, and would have to break down my "one-box" lists by type of fish, and type of water. For instance, largemouth bass fishing in lakes would not be the same selection as smallmouth bass fishing in rivers and streams.

Even then, limiting the selections is rough. But I'll take a stab at it, one group at a time, while others join in.

Here are my selections for bass in lakes:

[font "Times New Roman"]Largemouth Bass Flies[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"] [/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Hair Bugs in various sizes and colors[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Hair divers in various sizes and colors[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Big-Eyed Flash-A-Buggers[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Bullet-Head Tube Flies[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Clouser Minnows[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Spin-Bait Fly[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Crystal Grub[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Crayfish[/font]
[font "Times New Roman"]Feather Worms[/font]

All of this would go in one fairly large utility box, and, along with sinking lines, would give me enough variety to fish anywhere in the water column.
