About the flies
Hand-tied in batches. Colors can vary slightly from the photos depending on materials, for example darker or lighter green hackle.
Flies for the way trout feed in lakes
Stillwater trout feed mostly below the surface, on leeches, midges, scuds and small baitfish. The Lake & Wet Fly Box covers all four: Woolly Buggers in olive and egg-sucking black, a flashy Crystal Bugger, Zebra Midges in black and red to hang under an indicator, and weighted olive scuds for working weed beds.
Just as good in rivers
Every pattern in this box also catches river trout. Swing the buggers through deep runs, and fish the midges and scuds in tailwaters below dams, where they’re some of the most important foods all year.
When to fish it
Lakes fish best in spring after ice-off and again in fall, when trout cruise the shallows to feed. In summer, fish deeper along drop-offs and weed edges early and late in the day.

How to fish the Lake & Wet Fly Box
01
Strip the buggers
Cast along drop-offs and weed edges, let the fly sink, then strip it back in short, uneven pulls. Change the speed until fish respond.
02
Hang a midge under an indicator
Set the Zebra Midge about a foot off the bottom and let it sit. Small waves give it all the movement it needs.
03
Crawl the scud through the weeds
Fish the weighted scud slowly near weed beds, with short twitches and long pauses.
Questions about this box
Do I need a sinking line?
A sinking or intermediate line helps with the buggers, but you can catch fish on a floating line with a long leader and patience. The midges and scuds work well on a floating line under an indicator.
What hook sizes are included?
Woolly Buggers and Crystal Buggers are size #10, the scuds are #14, and the Zebra Midges are #16.
Will these flies work in rivers too?
Yes. Buggers, midges and scuds are staples in rivers and tailwaters as well as lakes.
Do the flies come in a fly box?
Yes. All 60 flies come packed in a fly box that’s yours to keep.
