The twelve flies we would hand a friend making their first drive up Highway 395. Between them they cover Crowley Lake, Hot Creek, the Upper Owens and the East Walker in most of the conditions you will actually meet, so you arrive with a box you understand instead of forty patterns you do not.
Buying these same twelve individually comes to $33 plus shipping. This is the identical flies, already chosen, shipped free.
What is in it
