I like big stuff on the Webe- size 10 bh prince, it gets down deep into those holes by itself and the fish there don't know the difference. One April I pulled out 19 nice size fish between 2 consectutive holes on the Webe with that. If you want a dry why not a nice muskrat fur mouse[laugh]. Provo you need to fish that small stuff most of the time- between that, the crowds and stunted fish I just don't bother. I'll stick with my Weber answers.

Honestly I would quit fishing if I had only one fly to fish. But forced I would say a size 1/0 double bunny and fish only for pigs.

If I had only 1 fly to fish at any water, any time of year....it would be a black seal bugger. If you narrow it to the Weber and Provo, that is interesting. But I'd have to day that I'd stick with that. You can catch fish all year long throwing meat. And it would be more fun than nymphing all the time. And if I only had 1 fly, it definitely would not be a dry fly.

I would have to go with a #6 mohair leach, but a huge bunny leach would be next. Always catch at least some on the mohair. It is my go to when nothing else will work.

Make that a #12 for me. I have caught huge Carp to tiny Brookies off that fly.
And as far as MEAT flies....the Cutt in Henry's are no-meat eaters. The 36" was caught on a small #12 Woolly Bugger/Nymph
The 26"s and 28"s out of Strawberry, a Scofield.....#12 RED Copper John.
