The most forgiving fly in the box, because it suggests everything and imitates nothing: a leech, a baitfish, a big nymph, a damselfly larva. The marabou tail breathes on the pause, which is where nearly all the takes come. Strip it, swing it, or dead-drift it under an indicator — all three work. The pattern most likely to save a blank day, and the first fly to hand to anyone new.
