How many flies to use when fly fishing?

Some fly fishers use as many as three flies and not a few prefer two. Most of the time I use only one fly but do not question the sportsmanship of those who do not agree with me. In fact, my preference is based on efficiency. In other words, I believe that a single fly, properly and carefully fished, will produce more rises and catch more fish, and certainly is easier and simpler to handle, than a cast made up of two or more flies. Sometimes it is a good plan to start with two or three flies to see what they are taking.
