I am going to start tying for my future TX coast redfish trip. I am thinking of the Port Aransas area. I know there are hundred of flies that will catch fish, but I would very much like to tie my own. So I need to start somewhere. I would like to go fishing on the flats for Redfish etc. I am planning on a guided kayak trip or self guiding and renting a kayak.

Give me the top 5 must have flies please, with color and size!! Let's assume I am using a 7 wt rod.
