Rob,  that worm will work for an ol catfish one in a while to.  Especially if you soaked a couple of then in some kind of fishing liquid bait.

That pattern does work better with some current.

Patrick my 9 year old wants to start tying flies & he loves to fish. This would be a good one for him to try.

Woolly bugger is by far the easiest to tie up and will catch fish, in most situations.

Depends on the fish you're after. Size 2 up to 10 will cover almost anything in PA.

A wooly booger is another one of those versatile flies. You can fish them several different ways and make them just about any size you want.

My favorite would be the muddler minnow. Can change the size from small for bluegill to several inches long for bass and pike. Leave them light and headed and they’ll float. Changing the shape of the head a bit will change if they dive, pop, or just ripple. Or you can go less dense on the deer hair head and add some lead to make them sink. It’s a very universal pattern.

For bluegill and mid to late summer trout I like deer hair beetles. One of the easiest things to tie and fish when they are hitting the top.
