If you had but one fly to take on a trip...

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!

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.

Or maybe get a nice close shave.

Girdle Bug for me -- I have caught one steelhead, numerous trout, whitefish,
smallmouth bass, largemouth bass (okay is was only 1/2 pound, at most),
crappie, bluegill, and a few perch.

By the way, has anybody else every heard of the single fly competition?

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 . . .

Sorta in the "what the hell?" camp, but to answer, a bucktail and
whatever hackle is handy mess of my own making that catches panfish.

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.
