The "ONE" fly...

[Sonny Edmonds]

Interesting museings .

For the most part, entertaining!

My vote is for the Adams.

But I am very narrow minded....

I have said fly, and it is concocted with a hook, thread, some pheasant tail, copper wire, fur, and a partridge feather. I can't seem to keep fish off of it! and yes, I enjoy tying a pattern that works! I also enjoy sharing the tying with others who are interested.

Seriously, it ain't as much the fly as it is the fisherman/woman.

Maybe the one fly can be found in this old Castwell article: http://www.flyanglersonline.com/arti.../cst062005.php

I think that I read something about this at one time. If I'm not mistaken, Tapply (the elder) tried this one season with an Adams. Fished nothing else for an entire season. Many sizes one pattern. Caught the same number of fish that he usually caught. Spent more time concentrating on presentation and getting that correct instead of worrying about having the "right" fly on his line.

It wasn't an Adams, though. If memory serves, it was a pattern called a Near 'Nuff.

Your memory is better than mine. Now that you mention it that sounds correct. Thanks.
