If you are new to the game of stillwater trout fishing or you're just looking to add some patterns to fill your box, this is a great deal! I normally tie all my own flies, but this was just to good of a deal to pass up. The flies themselves are well tied and don't just fall apart after a couple of fish. I haven't tried some of the dries yet so I can't really talk about how well they float but the mids and the streamers have worked well. If anything, I think they should add some patterns tied on the jig hooks they sell. Maybe some of the seal leeches with the slotted tungsten beads. Hint, hint! Those would really round this thing out.
