Default I have to tie some flies for the new season, any experts on here willing to give me some tips.

Ok I have to fill a box of

Greenwell Dry & Wet
Hares Ear Wet
March Brown Wet
Dark & Light Olives Wet & Dry
Blue Dun Dry & Wet

I can tie salmon flies but have never tied small trout flies.

All advice, tips would be great, also tips on type of hooks to use and particular sizes would also be great.

thanks

I use mainly kamasan b175 hooks for my wet flies and occasionally b170's which are a bit lighter gauge.
I dont tend to tie many dries so cant really say the best hooks for them even though I have numerous different hooks that are suitable.
I would say get the materials for one or two of your patterns and then practice at them and see how you get on.
