If you had but one fly to take on a trip...
 
And you had no idea what you would be fishing in fresh water for, which fly
would you take?

That's a dumb question. First off, who would go on a fishing
trip and have no idea what they'd be fishing for ? And second,
why would you take only one fly ?

Geezus, this post would be too dumb even in the middle of North
American winter when we all have cabin fever and *WELCOME* dumb
posts.

Me, I'd take a $20 bill fly, that way once I got there I could
buy the right flies.

I always keep a few of Big Dale's foam spiders (gurglers with legs) in my
chest pack. I've caught 7 or 8 species on them. A size 14 Ausable Wullf
with an orange head is a good second choice.

Dumb question or not, I would pick a size 10 black wooley bugger and/or
a size 14 yellow humpy and a beadhead prince nymph (or a gold ribbed
hares ear in place of the prince). See, can't pick just one fly!

Ken, several fly fishing clubs hold a single fly competition yearly as well
as some major fly fishing competition events (such as the link below).
Adding the, no idea what species you are fishing for or the type of water,
is an idea for my area because we have so many species within a single day's
trip. It certainly would add a bit or challenge to an already established
tradition, wouldn't it?.

OK, so I have to look like a smat ass and pick one of my flies, but
the weamer pattern has taken more different species for me than any
other fly. So there . . .

Much underrated--or forgotten--fly. I've settled into a rut when it comes
to tool flies, usually opting these days for a tungsten-headed Prince in
#12 or 14, or a #6-10 stonefly nymph (often a quasi-Kaufmann's but usually
a Brooks). I need to be remembering the girdle bug more for this
purpose. Many days a stone killer on the Deschutes.

OK -
I will bend the rules a bit, let's try one fly (a muddler minnow) in
various sizes - is that legal for a single fly competition?

I have caught all kinds of things on very small (like #12 + 14 - deadly
on trout bent on dries - gunk it up good)) to very large (2/0)
muddlers, well the 2/0 looks less like a muddler than a mass of hair
thing, but the snook loved it!

Not a single fly. But I remember reading something about what kind of
flys would you put in a survial kit. It may have been here ( or a
discussion on a similar topic).
As I remember it was you get a half dozen flys that would catch any
kind of fish anywhere in the world. The ideal was that wherever your
scramjet was shot down you would have a chance to catch something.
