how do i tie them and what materials are needed

Plan to fish surface – drag nymphs – attractors?
Visit or call a local fly store – find out what the fish are after at the places you plan to fish.
Check out the fly selections in fishing catalogs for ideas for flies. You can surf the web for sites that offer the “how to” tie certain patterns.

I am wondering what to tie in general

[LedHed]

Wooly Bugger - will catch everything and is an excellent fly to learn some fly tying techniques.

Hi

Here in the UK it's the gold ribbed hares ear.

A simple pattern to tie that will catch just about anything is a thread ant. Use a size#14 hook; make a rear ball out of thread followed by two turns of hackle and a front ball of thread. Simple to make and catches fish!

Can i see a picture of it

[MuskyGary]

Sorry, Im not set up to put pictures on the internet. Look up ants in any fly patterns.

As was stated go to Fly Anglers OnLine, Your Complete Internet Flyfishing Resource. on the left hand side of the screen click on fly tying and take the online tying course for beginners. Everything is step by step and they all catch fish.

A: I only tie my own, because B: store bought blow apart.

I almost exclusively use nymphs for trout. #14 16 and 18 bead head pheasant tail. Micro muddler minnows (like the kind at Orvis). San Juan worms and various bead heads.
