I know it depends: depends on insect activity, type of water, time of year, etc., etc., etc. However, if you had to fish an unfamiliar stream for a day and could only use one fly, what would it be?????

Considering I never of heard of this fly about 7 years ago, (yea silly me) and I prefer dries most times; my confidence in it all year long, (that's key) on any stream, under any conditions easily makes it my 1st and only choice:
Beadhead Prince Nymph
Rubber legged, bead head pheasant tail nymph - #14 (or #16)
Assuming you are fishing for trout I would use a Montana Stone Fly. Here is a link: http://www.riverbum.com/Montana-Nymph/
