Best selection for Stillwater ???
As a “beginner”, I want to set my fly-box for Stillwater with a good panel of flies, but without been lost with thousand of them…
What is the best to have and when/how to use them ???
Thanks in advance for your lights guys.

What ever you do never confuse Fishing With catching Fish !!!!
Fish Are Friends Not Food
But your reasoning has a fatal flaw; it overlooks the fact that to comprehend it requires that one rub a few brain cells against each other. The heat thus generated produces the light that illuminates the fact, but alas, not everybody has the resource required to fuel the process --SG

Woollybuggers in black, brown and olive (I especially enjoy the speedcop, the black WB with blue flash in the tail) in sizes from about 12 to 8.
Zonkers are always good...I have had a lot of success with orange. Again olive and black are good colours.
Red eyed damsels.
Other naturals like dragons etc.
Fat nymphs like hare's ears and PTN's work well.
Yeah. you should catch on those...dunno if that helps?
Cheers

Oh wrt retrieves...IMO the best with the WB's is a twitchy retrieve with pauses and then long slow strips etc. you must mix it up and find what the fish are liking. The same with the zonkers. The naturals you can retrieve much slower with a figure 8 retrieve or just very slow strips...What I have found works really well is a team of 2 or 3 nymphs on a floating line fished about 50cm apart with a nice long leader. You cast perpendicular to the wind so that the wind swings your line. With this your nymphs are constantly sinking and the wind is creating the action. You just watch the tip of your line and wait for it to dip...
Hope that gives you some idea...
