dabalone 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 This has probably been posted here before, but if you only had one trout fly in your box to use for both stream and lake fishing, for all times of the year and all water conditions. What would your best overall fly be? I am thinking black ant. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 13, 2004 One Fly? Sheesh... One fly to keep you from starvation? In a lake or river? I would have to go with a San Juan Worm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mcfly 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 I haven't fly fished in a lake but I'd think some sort of streamer or bugger that could be stripped by reedbeds for bass would be good and trout always seem to love them as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 13, 2004 Worst case scenario, where if I don't catch fish I don't eat, and the world collapses around me...? Hmmmmm... A size 12 Natural Hare's Ear nymph. Unweighted. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted May 13, 2004 If it was for survival, I would want a snagging fly (7/0 treble hook with 2 ounces of lead molded around the shank) Otherwise I'd pick a Elk Hair Caddis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dontheo 0 Report post Posted May 13, 2004 A nymph for sure. But I like the dynamite idea. Then when the Game Warden comes by you can hand him the lit stick and ask him if he wants to talk or fish. The Don Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
