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!!!

This is going to sound repetetive, but here are mine:

Dry - Tan or olive EHC , Adams, Usual, Stmulator, Griffith's Gnat

Nymph - P.T. & GHRE, plain and beadhead, Deep Sparkle Pupa, tan &
olive, Thread body midge larva.

Streamers/Bucktails - Grey Ghost, Zoo Cougar, Black Ghost, Magog Smelt

Multi Purpose - Olive Wooly Bugger, Black & Grizzly Olive Bugger,
Hornberg Special, Pass Lake

"Cheater Flies" - Glo-Bug & San Juan Worm ( Sometimes referred to as
"guide flies", simple & cheap to tie, but very effective.)

Terrestrials - Inchworm, Black & Cinnamon ants, Beetle, Cricket,
Hopper.

Some of the above are local New England patterns, but should work
anywhere there are trout. If you had a few specific patterns to cover
your local hatches, plus the above collection, you should be pretty
well set.
