Tough - depends on so many things......
Aint that the truth, having lots of time to myself for the last few weeks and suffering from major cabin fever
Despite Mr livingstones best efforts
much appreciated as they were.'
I've asked myself this question rather too many times
If it was to catch fish then i would probably have to choose a black spider, if it was to have have fun fishing i'd have a HE F-fly
Incidently, having mulled this over rather often i have come to the conclusion that having a large selection of flies is showing the fish the respect it deserves
And where i can put together half a dozen flies that will catch me fish all year, everywhere, i choose to have a fly for every hatch and few others as well.
I reckon it makes me feel a much more rounded and appreciative angler to know i am trying to fool the fish with something they are eating and having the right fly for the occasion not only increases confidence (vital for success) but gives a greater satisfaction when you catch the fish.
Never mind, home soon
