There's a bit of a theme developing here. Trying to get some NZ flies together.
Waiau Dun

Olive nymphet - leaded:

Black Stone (bigger than you think):

not sure what this one is, but it's a good one:

An Adams (believe it or not):

Bibio (very useful for lake cruisers):

Fantastic wetfly:

It's an enormous job filling a flybox. If you winter then of course it's easy. I was always organised and worked out the list that I needed to tie and spent months going through it - hard to believe, I know.
There is nothing worse than not having the fly when you know that you should have it. I've had to build a working box from scratch before - Operation Fluff for example - I expect this will take six weeks at the current rate of 30-40 flies per day. It's interesting.
