Which one would it be, and do you have a link to an easy version on line.

If I were gonna tie one fly for almost anyplace it would be a size 14 or 16 Flashback Pheasant tail.

Sammy -

After 13 years of the L Sac being my office, I'd have to agree with Ed K on this one.
The BHFBPT (bead head flash back pheasant tail) has to be one of the most consistant flies that will catch fish ALL YEAR.

Many good answers here, but....

--Beads aren't flies.... and the fish don't eat them all year long.

--Caddis pupa imitations rarely work 'year round'. The fish eat caddis during certain times of year. I do love the poopah and the bird nest tho! (we're coming into that time soon!!)

The mayflies are always on the menu. And it's a fly tied with fur and feather.

As a matter of fact, I think if I had to fish only one nymph for the rest of my life, it would be the BHFBPT.

Amen brotha. It is just a great fly... and it works in lots and lots and lots of places. Might not catch a bonefish on it, but it is a staple on the trout menu.
