Count me in on the black wooly bugger.  I have caught everything on them.  Bass, trout, walleye, crappie, gills, perch,  it is my "go to" fly when all else fails!
It doesn't matter if you are trolling, casting, drop-shotting, flipping, pitching or jigging.  Just as long as you are FISHING!!!!   NAFC Life Member

if i had only one fly and had to live on what i caught ...... a muddler minnow!  i have  fished it unweighted  during caddis hatches and  as  a hooper  imitation  caught fish ,i have  fished it weighted  as a streamer and caught everything from brookies  to steelhead on it ,i have drifted it like a nymph and caught fish feeding on crayfish. i have caught  bass bluegill trout salmon steelhead  and even salt water fish on it . it's just a fly that works

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that I tie in a little flash in my tails on my wooly buggers.  Sometimes a little sparkle helps!

I basically fish two flies.  The special... which is a royal coachman variation. and the Meat Whistle.. a John Barr fly.  I'm getting better at tying it... and getting better at fishing it.  So far it has got me... Rainbows, Browns, Brookies, Salmon, Pike and a bass.  Finding the hooks at stores is next to impossible around here.

Cream Cahill!!  This fly has never let me down. Evenings on the Battenkill are the best!

    I fish streams and frog water, cold and warm water species and hands down the Beadhead Woolly Bugger
would be my choice if I had to pick the one fly that I had to limit myself to. Takes Brookies to King Salmon, Bluegills to Esox - the most widely successful fly ever invented.

                                                                                                                                         Spin

i would either fish a size 10 elk hair caddis, or if it's a stream that runs through a meadow, a joe's hopper. if there's brookies then definitely the hopper.

Kelly Gallup's Sex Dungeon.  Works on large trout, bass, 'eyes, Steelies, Pike and muskie.  What a great fly... and I love the name.
I like to fish with St. Croix rods www.StCroix.com and Hair Jigs by www.jjsjigs.com.

me i think i would use a # 10 hook tied Clouser style with small bead chain eyes and a gray or black top strap. those two colors have produced for me a lot. I'll throw them at almost any fish with on hesitation, i love the Clouser fly.
tight lines and wet flies
