Thread: whats everyones favorite flies

ok cool i love a good information overload to start the day. ill be fishing rivers like the Waitaki and the back country rivers up around Oahu, Hopkins, ahuriri and occasionally the canals. i need to do some shopping and buy one of everything mentioned and see how they all work. at the moment I haven't got any specific rig setup.....is there one i should be doing? i have just been tying a nymph thing that looks like a ball of hair the dude at the shop sold me with the rod and throwing it out into the river and floating through the holes.
