Del, don't forget a Muddler or 2, maybe a clouser. Otherwise looks great.

I have been asked to create a starter flybox for an inspiring angler. My
friends son wants to get started into Fly Fishing.
He just got a rod and reel setup and 2 fly boxes for Christmas and now
needs some "go to" flies in the boxes.
Here is what I got for him a starter assortment:
Dries
Black Gnats
Adams
Lt. Cahills
Wulffs (White, Royal, Adams)
Stimulators (Yellow, Olive, Orange)
Humpies (Red, Green, Yellow)
EHCs (Tan, Black, Brown, Olive)
Nymphs
G.R.H.Es (Black, Natural, Olive)
Pheasant Tails (Natural, Black, Olive)
Soft Hackles (Orange, Green, Red)
Streamers
Wooly Buggers(Black, Olive, Rust)
Terestrials
Foam Hoppers( Green, Tan, Yellow)
Foam Beetles (Black, Green)
Ants, Flying and Spent (Black, Red/Cinn)
I think that this will be a good starter set for him, as most of these
flies are time proven and catch fish here and in the nearby mountains. I
have
also thrown in a few patterns that have proven themselves that I tie, such
as
my Fluro Green Bead Body Soft Hackle and my One Hackle. I have them all
packaged up and plan to give them to him in a few weeks, since his birthday
is next
month.
What would you all sugest to add, if anything? He will be fishing lakes
and ponds for 'gills, and streams for trout.
