FWIW, I recently read that Tappley (of Taps Tips fame) conducted an
experiment with some of his friends one season, wherein each participant
fished "Tap's NearNuff" exclusively, changing only size, and at the end
of the season reported the results. The consensus was that using that one
pattern all season did not affect their success rate.

What does that fly look like? What's the recipe?

I'll try to find the article tonight. I think it was in American Angler.
Basically, as I recall, it was a brown quill body, brown hackled fly. If and
when I find it, I'll post the pattern. A Google search wasn't much help.
(Probably don't recall the name as accurately as I should.)
