The fish in Missouri's trout parks will hit a variety of flies, many of which are very easy to tie. You can therefore enjoy a fair degree of success with your own flies, even if you are a newcomer to fly tying. To help you get off to a good start, the December 1996 issue of the Missouri Conservationist magazine contained an excellent article on fly tying for Ozark fly fishermen. Two highly effective flies that you will want to learn to tie right from the start are the Woolly Bugger and Mike's Mohair Leech. As every avid Missouri fly fisherman knows today, one of the hottest new flies to ever come along is Mike's Mohair Leech.
