Off the top of my head copper john, wolly bugger, daves hopper, adams dry fly, parachut adams, hairs ear nyph, mickey fin in chatruues are all good flies.

Tough question not knowing where and when you'll be fishing and for what species

Daves grass hoppers work great with trout. Go to your local library and check out a book about flyfishing. It helps alot.

Wooly Bugger is about the most diversified fly you can get.

If I could only fish two flies for the rest of my life, they would be an elk hair caddis and a bead head prince nymph. Both can be deadly! For larger patterns, I like the beadhead wolly buggers and zonkers.

The best fly to use depends on what time of the year you are fishing. In the June-July months I like to use Brown Drakes. It also depends on the area you live. You can ask local fhisherman and they would be glad to help. Another tip is that while looking at the water, you notice many fish jumping,right? Well, the bigger fish suck the water down down jump. Good luck fishing.

So I found this fly a year ago, it is a little puff ball with a propeller at the top of it. When it is stripped through the water the propeller sparkles in the sun. I catch almost every fish w/ this fly in salt and fresh water. I actually caught a trout on it this summer.

this question may be a little to broad, all fishermen have different favorites, but to answer the question though, my 2 picks are the golden hornberg and the micky finn
