You are on an island with your fly rod. You can only bring one fly. What would you bring?
This question was probably posed to Sir Izaak Walton himself in the beginning of fly fishing and has been around for a very long time. It is the ultimate hypothetical and philosophical question. No one can answer this question with certainty.
Why do I bring this up? I need to think about the question for a specific reason… a one-fly contest.
Dane Law from Southeastern Anglers sent the following fishing reports from the Hiwassee River, Toccoa River, Tellico Basin, Clinch River, and Holston River. Thanks for the report Dane.
