I am a active fly fisherman and I agree that his additions are good. I would add a nymph pattern in addition. My favorite is called a Hare's Ear. This imitates the underwater stages of several common aquatic bugs including caddis, stone flies and mayflies. I carry a selection of these in several sizes from 14 to 8. Several can be squeezed into tiny spaces without concern about damage to hackles and wings of the dry flies he has listed.<br><br>The only dry fly I carry is a pattern called the Stimulator. This again is a general pattern that, depending on size, can imitate caddis and stone flies. This is an excelllent pattern in the Rockies.<br><br>The Mickey Finn is a good pattern even in fresh water used to imitate small baitfish. This is one I may add to my kit. The addition of a short piece of fly line is a good idea to help control the drift of the dry flies.<br><br>Fishing dry flies is generally considered more difficult than the underwater flies as the currents cause the fly to drag unnaturally across the water. This is why I have chosen to mostly carry underwater patterns. <br>
