Top five must have bass flies, (with colors)
Top five blue gill/pan fish flies (with color)
Mainly easier ones for beginners. Would like some top and below water flies if possible.

bass- bigger sized wooly buggers, zonkers, clousers anything with green
panfish-smaller wooly buggers, nymphs, small poppers, micro-jigs, once again, olive is always good

panfish, I'd go no larger than #6, use whatever sizes you want.
Bass, no smaller than #6 and on up.
Of course these are all broad stroke suggestions.

Don't see much mention of Cap Spiders on these lists, but I don't go bluegill fishing without a few Cap Spiders. Like Michael, I prefer to tie mine on the 1/124 oz crappie jigs with the size 10 hooks. I carry all colors, but seldom need any other than the black,olive, or chartreuse. I have caught more bluegill that weigh over a pound on Cap Spiders than on everything else combined.
Have fun with this stuff.

Brimbum; I would have put it on my list except its for a beginner tyer, who probably doesn't need to start tying on the really small crappie jigs; but its certainly a top five fly-p-
