    Default spring flies

    I am going to try and get some early springs this year.
    So it is time to start tying.
    I have a few ideas as to what I would like to have in my box.
    A bunch of intruders of course.
    I was thinking that chartreuse and blue would be good.
    Anybody with more experience out there have a couple of colour combos they would like to share?
    I will post some pics when I get a few tied up.

    Big flashy fly's i.e. flash fly's 1/0+, do not be afraid to put lots of tinsel on, and big puffy marabou fly's in black, purple, orange, green etc. I'm sure others can touch base with you more but good luck!
