>>880601For pan fishing you want cheap cheap cheap
Get foam spiders, beetles, and foam ants
They're hard to destroy and fairly cheap
Also you can "drown" them (soak them with water so they sink)
Also get some panfish poppers
For trout youll want a good selection but these are good general patterns
>wooly buggers, white black and olive; regular and bead head, size 6-12That's a good seeker pattern because its a nymph and a streamer that can be stripped in, swung, or dead drifted
It doesn't explicitly look like anything but it vaguely represents minnows, leeches, and various nymphs and aquatic insects
>pheasant tail nymphGet them size 12-20, its a good look-alike for any type of mayfly nymph- dead drift it under an indicator
>rusty spinner, AdamsGet various sizes, they are a dry fly that will look like mayflies
>elk hair caddisVarious sizes, dry caddis fly imitation
>stimulatorVarious sizes/colours, stonefly
>copper johnVarious sizes, its good on a double nymph rig to get baits down without adding splitshot, dead drift it with a nymph behind it
>stonefly nymph, blackSize 8-10 dead drift it
>sno cone/zeebra midge, black. GreenWill imitate midge larvae or caddis fly larvae, dead drift it
>hares earSize 12-18
Good general pattern, dead drift it
>eggsVarious sizes this is the time for them
That sounds like a lot, because it is a lot, but you'll wind up with it anyways
If you only want to buy a few, get the pheasant tails, wooly buggers, and eggs
Then add more as you need them
>small mouth>Poppers, size 6 to 1/0When you're fishing slow water let it land, let the ripples clear, pop it once, let the rings clear, then go on with the presentation
Clouser minnows, various sizes, get ones that look similar to the baitfish in the river, and there are a lot of ways to present them, here are my favoritesfavorites
