What's on the end of your line?

I just got back from a trip where the type of fishing is way different than what I normally do. I fish saltwater most of the time. 90% of the time I have 3 to 6 feet of maxima and a bait fish type fly. Last week it was a tapered leader, bobber, split shot and three flies. That got me wondering what most people have on the end of their line most of the time?

Multiple weighted flies under the bobber for freshwater lakes

two or three flies without the indicator for rivers

When I dry fly fish, one fly is all I use. But sometimes I'll add a dropper. When nymphing it's 2 flies. Basically 2 nymphs is what I'll use with an indicator. Never go three flies. I have enough trouble with 2 flies. I can imagine what kind of mess I'll end up with three flies.

I haven’t fished anything lighter then 20# for the last 5 plus weeks in NOLA. Gonna be a little shocking to get home and string up some trout rods with 3x and little flies that blow away in the wind lol. But I am looking forward to it.
The guys I was fishing with thought 3x was heavy. He was surprised when I broke it strip setting on a fish.
