Default The Ultimate Fly Box

Based loosely on the "3 Best Trout Lure" thread...

If you had to build a fly box containing 5 each of the following:-

Nymphs
Drys
Wets
Lures

Personally I'd go for (Still Water/Res)

Nymphs - PTN, GHHE, Damsel, Diawl Bach, Stonefly
Drys - Bobs bits, Carrot Fly, Hopper, Shuttlecock CDC, Shipmans Buzzer
Wets - Kate McLaren, Alexandria, Clan cheif, bloody butcher, soldier palmer
Lures - Cats Whisker, Muddler, Viva, Fritz, Tadpole
