I'll say a favorite fly box full of your favorite flies for your
favorite water. Store-bought flies, self-tied flies, friend's flies --
productive flies that you have confidence in, even if you don't know
the names or remember the lineage of most of them.

Anything else can be replaced with a lot of money and a little trouble.

You hear that, Miller? You hear that? You laughed when I did a full
Reid on Penns and watched my fly box float down the river. Ya never
even blinked twice - just watched it go. Never tried to save it. Just
giggled when ya asked me if that (pointing off in the distance) was my
fly box. Remember this, Miller, pay backs are hell!

hell, i've lost that many flies in the trees and rhodos on snowbird
creek...but, the image of you neck deep in penns remains vivid and
startling, and from this distance, sorta humorous...i'd be dumbstruck
again i'm sure...wasn't intentional, and we both probably would have
drowned if i'd leapt to your aid. blue rock hole is kinda deep where
you went in...and you popped up in no time. never saw the box of
flies...but my vigil for lost fly boxes is much improved. i'll do better
next time...promise. ...and, i've had my own rude experiences with penns
to satisfy any karmic need...
