Ok,

If your were only allowed to choose 4 flies for the remainder of your time as a fisherman being:

1 Wet Fly
1 Nymph
1 Dry Fly
1 Lure



What would they be?

They would be all dries

Dry wet flies

Haha, I wish it were possible to fish the Mayfly for the whole year with success... Alas, we live in imperfect world.

I would choose #10 wet caddis for spring, #16 olive dry for summer and autumn, #8 olive CZ nymph for the really cold period and a Viva for the time when rivers run high and I am forced to enter a stillwater fishery.

Theres a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot!!

dry: bibio
wet: conemara black
nymph: hares ear
Lure: humungus

Just an aside, if you could pick ONE fly only what would you choose?
for me a hares ear, can be a nymph or dry if rough and ginked

Well, it's lucky you didn't restrict the size of the fly. For Italian rivers:

Dry: Parachute Adams (trout; chub; carp, yes, carp, and on the surface; etc)
Wet: Don't know, don't fish wets , except for wet dry flies
Nymph: Weighted/Goldhead PTN (killer chalkstream fly)
Lures: Don't know, don't fish lures . But wait, is the Montana Nymph a nymph or a lure?
