Everyone must have a good stash of tackle but i guess we all have our favourite toys.
If you had to get rid of everything and only keep 1 rod, 1 reel and 1 fly.
What would they be and why? Yes, only got 1 so dont ask  :z4

OK Baz presuming I'm allowed a line :

Rod : Barrio Outcast  5# , its just a joy both as a casting tool and as a fishing rod.

Reel : Barrio  Mallard, a great simple piece of engineering , and its blue  :wink

Line : Snowbee Buzzer Line  WF5# , becuse its great for fishing nypmps , pulling wets and guess what fishing buzzers (the clues in the title)

Flee : Got to be a Hares Ear nymph ,because its so versatile.

Tough one.

Rod:  Winston BIIX #5wt 9ft
Reel:  Lamson Velocity 2
Line:  Wulff TT
Fly:    Liddles bibio emerger

That's off the top of my head with current gear. Give it a few weeks and that might change.....  :z3

The first part is not so tough really

If it has to be only one rod then it has to be a 9' #5 so that means my Barrio 'cos its the best of the two I have.

After that it's simple. I only have one reel that fits that rod so its the old Abu Flymax and on that is the Barrio WF 5F.

The tough bit is the flee. OK it has to be the hare's lug and plover.

This is for small stillwaters, so wont mention any pink blobs  :z4

I would have to say  :z6
Rod - Sage XP 5wt.
Reel - Loop Ltsx2
Line - Cortland peach floater

Fly is a tricky on, but would have to say a black cormorant / variant  :z4

Intresting to see lots of different set ups  :z16
