We at the University have come to the realization that there is a need for a series of flies to use as a starter fly collection. Obviously, someone just starting out in the art of fly fishing will not need hundreds of flies, but that someone should be introduced to some of the most common flies. With that in mind, we have selected flies that offer a simple range of dry flies and wet flies including duns, adults, nymphs, streamers and terrestrials. These flies are offered in the most popular hook sizes and colors.
As the beginner progresses, and learns more about the habits of the trout as well as the life cycles of the aquatic insects, he or she will be capable of selecting specific individual flies or go on to the larger fly collections available here at the University. Note that anyone purchasing one of these valuable collections may also want to purchase a great fly box that will let you organize them in sturdy, clear see-thru plastic fly boxes.
