I spent today at the Invergarry Craft Fair, doing a fly-tying demonstration and selling flees and flee-boxes (Income=£320 thank you very much).
Plenty (20+) of bored angling husbands whose wives were buying organic jewellery, denture-destroying fudge and hand knitted handbags stopped by for a chat.
In view of the locality, most of the flees on offer were traditional loch wets (aye, with wings) and these sods bought none of them as they either tied their own or had boxes stuffed full of wets. They did buy muddlers and buzzers, mayflies and crane flies, dapping flees and other "exotics".
However the majority (15+) maintained that one traditional loch wet was just about always on the cast, taking trout and salmon.
Guesses?
(Sadly, oh so sadly, and how much I wish it had been the case, Peter Ross is not the correct answer!)
'til a voice as bad as conscience,
rang interminable changes,
on an everlasting whisper,
day and night repeated so-
"Something hidden, go and find it,
Go and look beyond the ranges,
Something lost beyond the ranges,
Lost and waiting for you,
Go."

Nothing as smart as this forum, three guesses and you have the top three.
Fergie wins though. Black Pennel it is.
