i have only been fly fishing around a year and have learnt so much from this forum however i would like to see a thread where users post a pic of a fly, gives a wee run down of when to use, month, weather conditions, and also how the particular fly is fished.... Think it would be really helpful and would show how different people fish different patterns.
Thoughts??

I concur

IMO this is a very difficult order. There are thousands of small changes which mean no one fly is suitable for more than a day let alone a month. Flies themselves are not limited to one month but many outings when appropriate. There are many books which give the typical hatches. I'm looking at one now The Complete Fly Fisher's Handbook. It lists 70 insects that may hatch in June and there are artificials to match these. Not all of these insects hatch in one area, or one river, or stillwater, so you have to be familiar with local flies and insects.

What you have suggested is good in principle but IMO not practical.

ok well what about listing your favourite fly, a pic, what way and when you fish it?

Get yourself a copy of 'Matching The Hatch' by Pat O'Rielly. This book suggest 7 different flies that can cover 90% of all your fishing and tells you when and how to use them.

Cheers

Andy

My favourite fly is a "Para Dunn" tied with with a pink post and Grizzle Hackle, or Red Cock Hackle. Sorry I can't do pictures don't know how.

You really need a good book. I'd recommend John Goddard's Waterside Guide.
