This is my first year of fly fishing. I've read some books about
patterns for trout, and I've talked with local fishermen about some
good patterns. I'm curious if you guys would mind sharing about a few
patterns that are your absolute favorites. Thanks in advance!!!

You may want to say what part of the country you are in and what kind of
fish you are going for. That being said, a bead head hare's ear nymph
will catch trout anywhere.
