Your Most Useful All-Round Flies

[Wildfisher]

After careful consideration if I had to choose just two  for the loch (one wet one dry) and two for river (one wet one dry) they would be

Loch :
Wet - Silver Invicta – a fly that never fails me
Dry – Claret Hopper

River:
Wet  - Greenwells spider
Dry  – Greenwells parachute

What about you?

Bandy –

Away an' bile yer heid!  You have caught loads of fish on rivers in years past. You must know which flies did best.  Interesting  your choice of a black hopper. The other day I was fishing a black and a claret as a pair and took fish pretty much equally on both. I think it may be more the shape and these trailing legs than the colour. Pretty good all round imitative pattern, covering everything from buzzers, heather flies to daddies.
