I recently picked up Orvis' 20 Top Flies selection and wanted to give my quick first impression of them. First off they look to be high quality flies and well tied. Not that I expected anything less from Orvis. The 20 flies offer a good variety that should catch trout, bass, bluegill and crappie. These are definitely proven patterns. I like how Orvis has included the fly name and size on the inclined card and the species and times of year and conditions at to when to fish them. It is very helpful for beginners just learning their flies. Wooley bugger, included, is a pattern that imitates lots of aquatic insects that fish love. Time will tell how well they will hold up, but I'm fat more likely to lose them while fishing than wear them out. I'll be sure to let everyone know how they do once I get a chance to fish them.
If you've fished these flies or have your own Top 20 picks be sure to comment below.
