Default Sea Trout/Grilse Flies

I will be fishing near Ullapool for Sea Trout and Grilse in August. Could anyone recommend a website to buy some good flies for both Sea Trout and Grilse? I would prefer to spend a bit more and get quality flies rather than vice versa. At the moment I am planning to get a few Bibio's, Kate Mclarens, Blue Zulu, Bumbles, Teal Blue and Silver, and Muddlers. Any recommendations on other good patterns (possibly one's that work well for Sea Trout and Grilse) would also be much appreciated! Cheers, N

p.s. No need to say try tying your own as I already realise this and it's something I want to get into soon!

Hi Nick,
Stoat tail,silver stoat tail,hairy mary,blue charm,sweep,munro killer,in small doubles primarily salmon flies but will readily catch sea trout too... dressed on small doubles or tubes..12-10- and 8's.
Small spate river or loch work just as well.
I spent three year on the Isle of Lewis over the water from Ullapool and these flies always worked well.

Kindest Regards

a camasonary killer is a great wee fly and will take both salmon and sea trout
