    BC'S top ten?

    So I dusted off the fly rod and reel this weekend and actually got the line wet. When I opened my fly box it wasn't pretty. It has been awhile since I tied a pattern or two. My question to you would be......"What do you think BC's top 10 fly patterns are?" I guess I should say for trout in lakes.

    On the island you are looking at 2-3 bucks for trout flies and 3+ for bigger streamers. Flys are getting expensive. I tie all mine because i enjoy it and after spending a few hundred dollars on gear it is cheap.

    Canada tire and walmart have cheap self destructable flys!
