OK if for a stillwater you are limited to 1 pattern of lure, 1 nymph and 1 dry fly for the rest of your angling career what would they be?

Strictly speaking, if you allow yourself some variations in the dressing and the hook designs, such as various coloured tails (if any), lead under body (or not), long shank, normal shank, cock hackle or hen hackle, big or small... you could manage very nicely for the rest of your life on one pattern for a lure, a nymph and a dry fly, the Black and Peacock Spider!
