Streamer and pulling flies

 

It's a subtle distinction between what I consider streamers and pulling flies and what I consider 'loch style flies' . The main difference for me is that whilst each of the flies below work well in a team of flies they also fish well by them selves. My favourite woolly bugger flies and some nymphs such as my damsel nymph and my mudeyes are the same. The flies in my 'Loch' selection are different. Sure you could fish them on their own but by in large I regard each of my 'Loch' flies as fishing best when fished in a team of flies.
