Hi everyone,
my city has this thing once a year, where you buy a ticket then can use public transport, visit all kinds of museums, exhibitions, presentation all across the city for a weekend. My local fishing club is part of this each year. People can take a short ride with a boat and a fish finder, test fly casting, do all kinds of stuff. This year I will be part of this at the fly tying station! It's super cool. How ever, now I'm kinda looking for patterns which are easy to tie for first and one time fly tiers. So I will provide the tools and materials, people (incl. kids) will sit down I will try to tie a fly. I was thinking about:

* Zebra midge - the easiest which came to mind
* Wooly bugger - which is already kinda difficult due to having a hackle which easily rips apart
* Is there an easy to tie dry fly?

Also I'd like to print out some general info about flies, what should I display (I don't want too much info nobody reads). Maybe the general idea of a fly? What would that be for you?

Maybe the different types, e.g. dry fly, wet fly, nymph, streamer and their main purpose, with a prominent example?

Maybe another print with the different binding techniques? Or maybe some general material classifications explained, like "Thread", "Dubbing". What would I put on such a thing?

I would also like to try to tie some presentation flies for the show case. Which pattern do you know creating that "woah" effect, catching the attention for the "Fly Tying" station?

Thanks!
