A Brooks stonefly is an excellent simple-to-tie pattern:

The pattern pictured is for a salmonfly nymph. For a golden
stone, use tan or orange thread, light brown goose biots for the
tail, golden yellow wool yarn for the body. The legs can be
brown and grizzly or ginger and grizzly. After wrapping the
hackle, you can also wrap white or light grey ostrich herl at the
the base of the wound hackle, to imitate gills.
