Scouts fly tying classes - Chosing the pattern

Sprattoo a écrit :

I am going to get together with the local scout group and do a fly
tying 101. The problem I am having is which pattern to have the scouts
try for a starter pattern. Everyone seems to go for the ever present
woolly bugger.

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.

To see something different a Prince Nymph our a Zug Bug are both easy
and effective nymph and introduce them to wrapping peacock earl.

Someone said it already, a video and a large screen are a must; plus you
get to replay them again and again. Be sure, if you do this, to wear a
plain coloured apron it will provide a uniform coloured backscreen to
your tying. Green or blue are good colours to wear, anything that
contrast with the materials. ;-)
