Well Dan, here goes!

Nymph- Gold Ribbed Hares Ear
Dry- Daddy Long Legs (you've got to love those big, splashy takes)
Lure- Black tadpole (weighted or with goldhead)
Wet fly- Now you've got me! Invicta - good call mate and its pretty good fished like nymph- just left to drift round in the wind. Sea trout like it as well! Mallard & Claret and Black And Peacock spider are up there as well though.

its mint when there are loads of daddies on the water an dethe fish are going mad for them, sedge hatches are good aswell

I usually fish for coarse fish on rivers rather than trout so I'm out of practice with stillwaters.

My four for stillwaters are:

Nymph - PTN
Wet - Black Buzzer
Lure - Viva
Dry - Black Gnat

Mine would be .....

Nymph,,,, GRHE
Dry Daddy on lakes but Kites Imp on the rivers.
Wet Teal Blue and Silver
Lure difficult as dont like using them but flirted with a baby doll when I was young and foolish,,,,

Mine are

Nymph- Olive marabou Damsel
Dry- Hopper
Lure- Appetiser
Wet fly-Black buzzer

Probably catch at least 75% of my stillwater trout on the black buzzer though!

At least 0.5% of my stillwater fish are caught on buzzers Rupert. Dont ask me why, they just dont do it for me. To pick a favourite fly is hard for me because i'm more of an opportunist angler, and accept what fly works the best on the day.  I find hatever fly is successful on a regular basis one season is usually crap the next.
If i had to dig deep though. i would say probably the shrimp and dry sedges. One time i tied some shrimps with the shell back made from smoked mackerel skin, and they were probably the most successful wet fly i've ever tied.  I have no idea if they were gonna be consistent and fish subsequent season/seasons, because i never tied any more up.

Good topic,most of mine fall into the following:-
nymph - Gold ribbed hares ear - fished either just sub surface or ginked up to fish on-top.
Dry - muddler.just love the times when the trout chase it to the take
lure - olive damsel's take fish, also the cat's whisker is a sure bet.
wet fly - micro spiders fished on a inter' will have you catching ALWAYS!.
Tight lines everyone...
