So, if u were allowed just one fly, irrespective of weather etc what would it be.

No alteration or IF, WHEN and all that bollocks.

4 categories and since this is my thread I will start.

We have a local history group around here that meets monthly on a particular topic. Once it was fishing. Much of the audience were over 70 and I doubt that much of their fishing was with permission. Trout and silver, river and loch were all up for discussion. History, traditions, legends, stories were the order of the day, only the occasional fact. Choice of flee was of little interest to the organiser, but I asked the question- Black Pennel.
