Default The Stillwater Fly Box: - What to put in it?

I'm begining the great fly box 2010 and wondered what to put in place of the junk that is already there.

So how about a list of flies people think for small stillwaters should be indispensible for a good starting point.

Thanks
AL

claret shipman's buzzer (dry)

Black buzzer sized 12-16

unweighted pheasant tail nymph size 14/16

F flies, various shades. sizes 16-22

Oh and at this time of year as Bruce has already mentioned, you won't go far wrong with bloodworms. A cat's whisker wouldn't hurt either for if things get a bit desparate or you just want to do something a bit more active.

Mine would be:-

Apps bloodworm's
Buzzers
Diawl Bachs
Damsel's

And like the above a cat's whisker or dancer if the going gets real tuff
