Your fishing a stream with Browns, Bows, and Brook Trout in it, you can only use one fly the whole day. What would it Be ?
I would probably go out with a big black Wooly Bugger.

If the rule is 5 fish or 5 pounds, what if the 5th fish weighs 5 pounds?

Bugger....Is there anything it doesnt catch, anytime of the year. I saw this guide map for the Ausable river in the adk's and it had a list of like 15 different flies and had the dates on when the flys were most effective. Alot of them were only a month or so long. The bugger was from May 1st to sept. 30th.

I go nuts when I tie buggers, oversized hackles and half a pound of crystal flash
, the bigger the better in my book, I don't know what it is about fishing Buggers or streamers for that matter, they are so versatile and can be presented in so many ways and when it comes right down to it they are just fun to fish with, you can drift em, swing em, strip em, combination of all three in one cast ect..... A new color I have been expeirmenting with is rusty red, haven't caught anything on it yet, basicaly because I have ZERO confidence in it I don't stick with it for to long. I have so much faith in black or olive that I give it 1/2 an hour at most and then right back to black or olive. Anyone else do this also? I drive myself nuts out there sometimes.

Count me in on the Black Wooly bandwagon. I too find myself going back to the Wooly. I have caught every thing on it from Bluegill to Steelhead. It is definitely my go-to fly. As a bonus, it's easy to tie.

I don't do alot of fly fishing but when I do I love using an inchworm. It may be just a little early now but in a week or so it will be the only thing i fish the rest of the year.
