Default Use nearly anywhere flies

I am going to start and tye flies to fill a small dubbing box with 6 sections 2.5 x 3 x 4 cm with a selection of flies I could use nearly any where to leave in the glove box of my car so I can travel lighter when going fishing after work and not have to trail my whole collection with me.

Any suggestions for patterns welcome

Thanks in advance

GRHE and pheasant tails surely deserve a place in any box

Someone's finally asked the million dollar question on this forum. If anyone knew the answer to your question, we could all fish anywhere at anytime with the minimum of tackle. I'm looking forward to the replies, someone might have the answer

Nope, I just can't manage 6! Now, if your box had 7 compartments, then that would have been easy

Flyinghigh, despite most patterns already being mentioned I would have six patterns in the following sizes, parachute adams 14, 16 and 18, balloon caddis 14 and 16, black F fly in 18 and 20, pheasant tail nymphs 14, 16 and 18, GRHE 14 and 16 and finally a simply shrimp pattern size 14 and 16.

I know it would be a bit of a jumble in the sections but I would be confident if these were the only flies I had on me.
