Green weenie is a gotta have and even better tied in pink.

I always teach foam beetles and foam ants to scout groups. Simple and effective. And a foam beetle is a good forerunner to the gurgler mentioned above.

Walts worm (easy upgrade to hares ear nymph)
Ant
Woolly bugger
Clouser minnows
Soft hackles 

Suggestions:
San Juan Worm 
Green Weenie 
Egg pattern
Pheasant tail nymph
Bluegill bully


SJW and GW are boring but super easy and perfect for true beginners.

For years I've used Walt's Worm to teach dubbing and weighting. Good choice!

Hello tyers! 

We are rebooting our beginner's table starting in January, and want to offer more or less a schedule for what we'll teach. 

We want 6-12 patterns that are our 'standards' covering a variety of fly types, fish species, and materials and techniques. We want stuff that's easy to learn to tie, but not too repetitive or boring. 

What do you think should be on the list? 

thanks,

Miles & Casey
