If you had to pick one dry, emerger, nymph and streamer for fishing in the Berkshires without factoring in the time of year, water conditions, et. al., what would they be?
Mine are:
Dry Fly: #16 Tan EHC
Emerger: #14 "E2" Emerger (tied Klinkhammer style) (I developed this pattern).
Nymph: #16 BH Flashback PT (gold bead)
Streamer: #6 Pass Lake Special

ooops...those would be for the finger lakes...although i'd probably still take em ( a closer reading of the topic would have shortened the the woolly bugger vs purple egg sucking leech debate i had with myself)

Good topic! Dry - #14 Elk Hair Caddis Nymph - #12 Gold bead Hares Ear Emerger - #14 BWO Streamer - #6 Gold or Glass bead Head Black Wooly Bugger with flashy body JLIBS Caught you! after all the crap you've been giving me about my over-reliance on the #14 EHC, it turns out is your "one fly" for dries. (so what if I take the "one fly" thing literally) |

dry - parachute dun with wood duck wing post, dirty tan body, dun tail & hackle
nymph - PT
emerger - PT tail/rear with dubbed thorax and short wings/hackle, on a 'scud' hook
streamer - BH bugger, black & olive
but I'd want a couple *tiny* caddis imitations with me at all times
