Day Twenty Six: M.V.F (Most Valuable Fly)

All Time Favourite:

If I had to choose one fly and one only, to fish with for the rest of my life, then this would be it. It is simple, but very deadly.  A 2 minute tie I was saving this for a night when I was running out of time.

I once landed 5 fish over 4lb, on this pattern. All within 50meters of each other, and I only missed the sixth due to the barb disappearing at some stage after the fifth. It was a glorious half an hour that I have never repeated.
