In another post, I got the information I was looking for in regards to purchasing my first rod, reel and line... now I suppose I should know what types of flies a beginner should have to start with.

I live in central PA and fish mostly for trout in streams. I understand that the best way to know what to fish with at any location is to scout the stream and get familiar with what's there. I fully intend to do that but would like to know what some "old stand-by's" might be? Any helps is appreciated. Thanks!!!
