If I had to use one fly all season (horrible thought!) it would be a PT
(or maybe a Skip's Nymph).



If I went with a dry, I'd probably go with a Usual, cause I could fish it
as a nymph in a pinch. Otherwise, I'd probably go w/ a grhe or something
like that. PT would be another option

This may sound strange, but I actually had a rainbow swallow a #16 Adams
when the line & fly when under.
First time that's ever happened to me, but learned that you could possibly
fish a dry-fly as a wet-fly.

I do that all the time, and sometimes even on purpose :-)

In particular, with an EHC or trude pattern*, swung at the end of the drift
and given a little bit of action just under the menis...surface of the
water, it can be a deadly method!

With the Adams- and one reason I like the parachute style- the fly sits
pretty low already, and when it becomes almost-wet, or completely wet!, I
think it might resemble an emerging bug. Fish seem to like it anyhow.
