One Fly Choice

[Byron haugh]

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?????

peacock soft hackle

Adams Parachute

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

[Tig]

Rubber legged, bead head pheasant tail nymph - #14 (or #16)

[Panman]

Assuming you are fishing for trout I would use a Montana Stone Fly. Here is a link: http://www.riverbum.com/Montana-Nymph/

Hares ear soft hackle

CDC and Elk.

I must say, in my opinion, these are very good choices........

Baillie's Black Spider in size 14. It has been a go to fly for me in many situations when the trout seemed to have lock jaw. That simple wee fly opened the jaws and got their appetites going. Thank you Mr. James Baillie. (and Donald Nicolson for telling me about this fine wee flee.)
