Hi
I aint much for lochfishing but once or twice a year, and that is when mayflies hatch. So the answer is with patterns of emergers and adult mayflies.

Including lochs as stillwaters, I'd go for:
1.  GRHE
2.  black pennel
3.  clan chief
4.  CDC & Elk
5.  Chernobyl ant

Had great fun this year with No 5 - the brownies teeth have shredded it.

these were my five most used flies of 2009:
- pearly invicta (top left, well chewed up!)
- hothead snatcher (bottom left)
- cdc suspender buzzer (middle)
- black klinkhamer (top right)
- spidery buzzer (bottom right)

the cdc suspender worked brilliantly in calm waters, and was my number 1 pattern of the year by a mile. the hothead is great in a wave.
The wee spidery buzzer looks like nothing, but found it caught me fish in bright sunny calm days, fished dead slow.
ANd everyone knows the effectiveness of a black klinkhammer, just works!

the invicta is an odd choice, but worked when I suspected corixa were about, and worked well as a wee mini lure too.

cheers
