Mind you a small silver stoat muddler is pretty deadly too for the silver tourists

It depends if I'm fishing for off-the-tide sea-trout that are sparkling and dripping with lice, slightly coloured sea-trout that have been in the river for a couple of days, or sea-trout higher up the river system slowly moving upstream having lost that initial sheen.
For the first type, I'd use a silver and blue based pattern with the size less important than fish hgher up the sytem and not as fresh - for these fish, I'd move towards black based flies and slowly lose the silver moving to gold, copper and then a black or red body using very small sizes (all water-level dependant, of course).
Although not a great hooker of sea-trout, a long-winged fly is a good "search fly" when looking for sea-trout.
A popular pattern for finnock in the lower Dee beats is a silver March Brown - well worth a try.
If I had to choose a two-fly set-up for sea-trout (and to answer the question!), I'd go for an Editor (very good in peat-stained water or night fishing) and a Medicine - both tied on singles.
