Thread: Choose just 3 fly patterns

Great thread. I grew up fishing the Tongariro and only know a handful of flies by name - Pheasant Tail, Hare and Copper and Glo-Bug. I have done a little bit in the Kouraru (sp?) dam with a Wooly Bugga but that's about it.

I am really keen to do a lot more in the Ruahines this season - I assume I should do ok on PT and H&C? How light should I be going on the tippet for water like the Makaroro or Ngaruroro?
If anyone is keen to do a weekend hunting/fishing trip I am super keen to do a bit of that this season and I'd love to pick your brains and/or tag along.
