I expect we have all asked ourselves the excruciating question - if you can only choose "x"  flies to take on a trip to an unknown trout destination anywhere in the world, what would they be?

My fly box is set up largely for a caddis home-water, with quite a few wet fly patterns which I like to fish upstream. My choice of 7 flies to take anywhere are:

1. Hen Blackie
2. F Sedge (dry)
3. Thorax Dun 
4. PTN flashback
5. Griffiths or Syl's Gnat
6. Blood yarn larvae 
7. CDC streamer in olive. 

The problem is that I change my mind on this every time I think about it. But that's half the fun!
