Hi NewTyer
Even a new tyer can tie the Brook's Blonde. It's nothing more than a bucktail tail, a wrapped body (I use Christmas tinsel) and a bucktail wing. I like to tie mine sparse to imitate a sandeel shape and a favorite color combo is olive over yellow over white

After that move on to the other SW essentials. Lefty's deceiver and the Clouser deep minnow. Then add a top water like the Tabory snakefly. With those 4 you'll be ready for anything, top, midwater, and deep. Thin profile to thick
The simpler the outfit, the more skill it takes to manage it, and the more pleasure one gets in his achievements.
