Which one would it be? This is a question that might surprise in times when the fly fishing industry tries to persuade us to buy more and more and more stuff whether we need it or not. So much for sustainability.
Now, which would be the one and only fly that you would trust? That would hopefully catch most fish - on the most different conditions? So you finally would have something to eat. To survive!
The Fly Guys asked this simple but existentially pleasurable question at the EWF 2011 in Fürstenfeldbruck (near Munich) in Germany. But we didn't ask anyone. We asked some really interesting people. And we start with Henrik Mortensen, one of the most respected salmon fishermen and great promoter of the Scandinavian Spey Cast.
Very interesting question, OQ! And a answer from Henrik wich is, well, not THAT surprisingly, actually... ;) But that's not the point. It's just great to know that you can fish with only one fly. And i really believe that he is right. Just tie the Sunray Shadow in different ways and you can catch Seatrouts, Browntrouts, Bonitos, Pike, Rainbows and so on. Fish it at the Baltic, fish it at the Mörrum, fish it at the small creeks or fish it on the flats. It will catch.
