Thanks for the help. Any recommendations on must have flies to start?

woolly buggers - olive, black, dumbell eyes/bead headed/ and plain; Wooly Worms; Hairs Ear Nymph (bead head and plain); Prince Nymph; Elk Hair Caddis (tan and black); egg flies; streamers of various types. Some hopper imitations. AND of course stone flies: black and other colors.

everyone will have their favorite, must have, fly or flies

IMO start with wooly buggers and go from there

Keep it simple. If fish are rising, try various dry flies. If they are not, fish deep. If you see bait fish, then fish streamers, or buggers.

I would pick up a few different types of flys.. Get a few Bead Heads in different colors and sizes.. few dry flys.. and like others have said are all good flys to start with and produce fish..
