A hypothetical situation...
Let's say you showed up in a Mountainous Western state you had never been to before and intended to fish a river you have no Intel on.
You have any basic fly pattern, dry or wet, available to you. It is 2 PM, The air is cold (40 Degrees) and still, the sky is clear, and there is significant sections of ice accumulating on the sides of the river in shaded places but areas exposed to the sun have little to no ice. The river ranges from about 15ft across to 30ft across.
The river is a fast flowing freestone stream and has a good mixture of pockets, pools, and riffles. The stream bottom is a mixture of gravel and medium sized rocks.
And let's just say for hypothetical situational purposes you don't have the ability to try and identify what bugs might be present in the river at the time.
What do you rig up?

The sport is so royal that there is neither gentle nor villein, if it knew of it and loved it well, who would not be more honoured for that reason by all who understand it.
