Tip
Tip: Start with a small, proven set of about half a dozen flies
How to do it: Build a small core set and learn it well instead of experimenting randomly across a large box
Mistake it fixes: Random experimentation across many flies
Why it works: A small set forces you to learn depth, drift, and speed with each pattern, and makes it easier to isolate what actually changed when you succeed.
When it matters most: General trout fishing
