Tip
Tip: Build a core trout box covering dry flies, nymphs, and streamers, rather than carrying every pattern
How to do it: Stock a core box across all three categories instead of trying to carry every pattern
Mistake it fixes: Carrying every pattern instead of a core box
Why it works: A core box covers the main feeding modes without overwhelming choice. Carrying everything slows decisions and adds weight.
When it matters most: Trout fishing
