Default Only one Fly in your box.....what would it be????

Ok Guys and of course Gals

I was fishing today on the Wharfe in Ilkley and having tried a few different flies, tied on a Parachute Adams and was into a nice plump brownie almost immediately.

This got me thinking and I thought I'd put this to everyone......if you could only have one fly in your box what would it be?????

you can of course have a selection of sizes but only one Fly....for me its got to be the Parachute adams.

Happy Fishing

Gold-ribbed hare's ear for me. Fished wet it's effective. Put floatant on it and it's just as good as a dry.

I'll second that. You can add gold beads and it's good for stillwaters and rivers. All sizes welcome.
