What species of fish are you going after ?

------------------
Life is like a fly swap...You never know what your going to get.

[Rgary53]

I will most likely be going after Brownies and rainbows

Griffiths Gnat -- very easy tie.

Woolly Bugger -- easy tie.

Stimulator -- medium tie, but great to learn as it involves a few different tying methods.

Adams -- If nothing seems to be working, tie on an Adams. easy tie.

GregH, i second your advice and also offer the following of my own. Try to tie at least 6 or 8 of each pattern in a few sizes before moving on to a new pattern. It is even better if you can tie very similar patterns one after the other ie different coloured versions of woolly buggers, woolly worms. For dry flies try Cream variants, Dun Variants, Quill Gordons, Hendricksons, Adams. Each of the dry fly patterns have only a minor difference from the preceeding pattern and will ease the transition into new methods and patterns.

Hope that all made sense.

If your looking for names of patterns, TroutGeek has named some good ones. To that I would add a Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear, Crystal Bugger and an Elk Hair caddis. Tie each in a few different sizes and colour variations. All of these patterns are easy to find on the web and are well proven flies.

... and in the wet fly category, a Leadwing Coachman.

The flies I tie the most and cathc the most fish on are all easy to tie.

In no particular order:

Woolly buggers 8-12
Elk Hair Caddis 10-16
Griffiths Gnat 16-22
Scuds 16-20
Ray Charles 16-22
Cream Midge Spinner in mostly 22

All of the flies can be found on this website by looking in the FOTW section or for easier access on some in Al Campbell's tying section.

some of these flies are small but they are relatively easy flies to tie once you start in a larger size and slowly move your way down.

Take care everyone and cya around. Mark

Rgary53,
I agree with the suggestions but would add the Pheasant Tail nymph. I'm also a big fan of Whitlock's Red Fox Squirrel Hair nymph. It is also easy to tie.
