Default Only One Fly in your box.....What would it be???

Okay Everyone a bit of fun.....

If you could only have One fly in your box, what would it be????......you can have a selection of sizes but only one type....!!!!!

For me it would have to be a Parachute Adams, I've fished this on everything from small brooks to big rivers and it never seems to fail to generate interest!!!!


Happy Fishing

It'd be a good'n'bushy hedgehog. Instead of a selection of sizes I'll have a selction of colours with a dark peach, claret and fiery broon.
