Using a florescent filter will proceed to screw up whatever fill light you use.
(flash will have a magenta cast on daylight film. The lab can correct one or the
other color balance. (Unless you tape a slightly greenish gel to the flash, and
compensate for the florescent filter's density + the greenish gel density in
calculating flash exposure.)
