What's the one fly that has accounted for them most fish in lakes for you? Pictures for bonus points. Sometimes I spun out and can't decide what pattern to tie. Mine is a seal bugger.

Yeah trout, Olive willy is a good one. I have quiet a few of those. My buddy was doing good one trip with something he was calling a calico bugger. Sounds similar to what @Stonedfish is talking about. After that trip he was searching high and low for some of that long out of production chenille. I like those @Billy. Crayfish weren't really on my radar for trout. Another favorite of mine is the Stillwater nymph.

Have you posted this recipe?
Flat out most dependable lake fly? Olive Willy by far. Seldom start fishing without one on each of my three flyrods...floater, intermediate, and type 3 sinker.
On so many outings I simply have no reason to switch to anything else, unless I just want to experiment with what other patterns they'll also hit.

What are your materials please?
