For dry flies, any Lee Wulff pattern is easy and effective: a tail, a
body, hair wing and hackle. My favorite, the Royal Wulff, might be a bit
hard for beginner, but a white, brown or black Wulff is easy and
effective in many sizes.
In my entire, albeit limited, fly tying career, I've tied exactly one
Royal Wulff. It was tough, but it turned out beautifully. I'm not
sure why I never tried it again.
To see something different a Prince Nymph our a Zug Bug are both easy
and effective nymph and introduce them to wrapping peacock earl.
I sweartagawd, I hate the Prince. For some reason, I can't, just
can't, get those quill wings on right. I just gave up. :-(
