By far my most successful point flies are the flies I carry in ‘My woolly bugger fly box’ but most nymphs, midge pupa and grubs, streamers and pulling flies,boobies and even dry flies and emergers have their day as point flies. The choice of course depends on what the fish are feeding on and a good starting point is to match the hatch where possible. The other thing to keep in mind with point flies is that it can be a trade off but it’s often worth having a heavier “anchor” fly on the point so as to ensure that you have contact with your full team of flies even though that anchor point fly may not swim as well as unweighted alternative. For those special occasions where bead head woolly buggers or bead head nymphs don’t fit the bill I have on hand a couple of specific ‘anchor flies’ for loch style fishing.
