Hi Spiderman,
Projects eh!? Interesting one about "the Ugie" flybox as I've just bought a couple of airflo flyboxes (one side slotted foam, the other compartmented) with the thought of making up a stillwater flybox, a "River Don" type flybox and a Grayling Flybox ...to start with anyway.
I have approx. 14 flyboxes with a multitude of fly types which I routinely inspect then reject before each outing and to be honest most of them are ornaments - I have a box with quite a few dries purchased from "Broons" around 1977 all unused..so far!
I like to travel as light as possible and am determined next season to fish 99% of venues with a single flybox, two at a push when the venue might require me to put on a line that doesn't float and a fly that has marabou in it, eek!
The stillwater flybox is dead easy;
Black and Green Buzzer,Black and Red Buzzer,Black and Orange Buzzer,Orange Buzzer,Green And Orange Buzzer - Black Hopper, Claret Hopper, small paraduns, CDC buzzers in above colours
Diawl Bach, Black Spider, Bloodworm and the Damsel for when things get tricky
The "River Don" isn't quite so definative;
The PTN and Ryac have been the most successful nymph type patterns for me but I'm planning to try more spider patterns and as for the dries I'm going to attempt to tye up some Klink's, CDC's, paraduns, etc. as I've only used the more traditional upwinged variety.
so any "must have" patterns would be very much appreciated
The hardest project is organising a fishing trip and fooling the missus into thinking that you are at work - being at home means nappy duty!
Good Luck
Iain
