Raspberry Beret

This is my wife’s creation. Spent our Friday night trying out some ideas and thought I’d share. She liked a purple rain, but wanted it pink, with a tail, and with legs and voila.

Recipe:
- nymph hook (size 16 in the video)
- pink thread
- non-lead wire as rib
- grizzly hackle feather base for tail
- black dubbing
- silver flash
- turkey wing feather for legs

Basic setup for getting started

I would like to get started with fly tying and was wondering what a sensible list of, say, 5 flies (dry, wet, nymph) might comprise that doesn't require me to acquire an entire room full of materials. :D

The focus for me would actually be more on _learning how to tie_ and less on necessarily _using my own flies afterwards_ although that for sure would be a welcome perk!

For what it's worth, I am fly fishing mostly in trout carrying rivers.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a) fairly simple(to tie) patterns that b/ ideally share some material?

Or am I going about this all wrong and you would suggest a different approach?

Thanks for any suggestions at all!
