Some wets for my favourite stillwater.

[North Country Angler]

I've filled my spider and dry fly boxes now so my thoughts have turned to a beautiful wild stillwater not too far away which will be receiving some NCA attention pretty soon.

The first two are untried - two muddlers type thingies which should pull a fish or two. The second are two tried and tested dabblers which have done very well for me in the past.

I know there are far too many wet flies displayed on this forum, but frankly I don't care!

Oh don't worry Steven. I was telling Rob only the other night how we are both going to be fishing teams of 6 on 35' leaders (40 yd cast, ultra fast roly poly retrieve, 37 minute hang), so we are going to need plenty of flies. Be afraid, be very afraid Mr Denson.......
