I’ve fly fished pretty much since I was a kid. I’ve recently started trying my hand at fly tying. I’ve watched a ton of YouTube vids and even tied some of my own creations. Plenty of them end up looking like a feather got in a fight with a ball of thread. What’s a good beginners panfish pattern? I mainly fish the llano. Little perch and bass for the most part.

Remember, it doesn’t have to be pretty to catch a fish

Bead eye clousers tied with bucktail and craft fur. No lead wrap. Just hair, hook and bead chain eyes. This allows the fly to have a slower more even sink rate.
Get some bunny strips and learn to tie bunny leaches. The movement and neutral bouyancy qualities of rabbit make them irresistable to predator fish. Add heavier lead eyes or a cone to the front and a couple lead wraps under the bunny fur. Killer patterns.
