In no particular order:
1. Partridge and Hare's Ear
2. Stewart's Black spider
3. Partridge and Orange
Greenwell's Glory was tough to leave out.
What three do you prefer?

This would be my exact list as well. In addition I would never go without a sulphur flymph/softie.

1. Baillie's Black Spider. This in a size 14 tied on a Daiichi 1640 has taken more fish for me than any other single fly.
2. Orange and Partridge. Tied with Pearsall's 6A. Prevailing water conditions dictate whether or not a thorax is needed. I've never ribbed mine with anything. I really like these dressed on a Ken Sawada wet fly hook sizes 12 and 14.
3. PMD Flymph. This is one I developed after doing a bit of reading and mashed together information from several great fly dressers. It, along with the Baillie's Black Spider has saved my day more than once, even when there is no PMD activity.
Hard to leave out the Madison Cabbage and the Squirrel Flymph in gray.

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.
