    An all round fly needs to have a variety of triggers and the be effective through a range of sizes (and possibly colours) - Are we allowed to change colour and size?
    YES ... you can have as many colours and sizes as you wish .. but ONE pattern
    I always wanted to be somebody,but now I realize I should have been more specific.

    .. the #22 post was a reply to Chris Shelton's "FUN" question .. would be about the last fly I would choose as the one FOOD fly!!!

    Speedkop in various colours and sizes
    It's not in the catching, it's in the learning something new.

    Definitely black and olive woolly buggers with flash in the tail. They will represent almost anything and I have caught 5 different fresh water species on them. Don't know about the salt though. If I was starving, I would just stroll up an estyary until I hit fresh water.

    Ah, ok then... Clouser! One time!! You could probably take any fish with that pattern (maybe with different materials as well).

    Around the steel no tortur'd worm shall twine, No blood of living insect stain my line;
    Let me, less cruel, cast feather'd hook, With pliant rod athwart the pebbled brook,
    Silent along the mazy margin stray, And with fur-wrought fly delude the prey

    Jeez, Jasper you're SUCH a pernickety ol' man!
    If only one, I then side with FishWhisperer on Clouser in various sizes/colours/forms for 'tropical atoll/Amazon'.

    P.S. How come you're allowed two choices of area but we're only allowed one fly?....
