{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Patterns to tie for the DMV

Hard to nail down just a few but Woolly buggers, Clousers Minnows, Kreelex Minnow, Rob Snowhites Damsel nymph, and double barrel popper  are a few I always have with me for warm water fishing.

While stuck at home these past couple of months I decided to try to teach myself how to tie flies.  All of the resources I have been using have emphasized that beginning tiers should focus on the 4-6 patterns that are likely to be the most productive in your local area.  I definitely have not done that so far, but after having varying success with a number of flies (great deer hair beetle that caught fish vs a terrible griffiths gnat that fell apart when I took it off the vice) I started to wonder what would be the best flies for me to practice tying for fishing in the DMV.  

Setting aside shad flies, which of course I will be tying in January and February, I'm wondering what the TPFR hive brain thinks are the best 3-4 trout flies and best 3-4 warm water flies that a beginning fly tier should focus on for fishing success in the DMV. 

Thanks in advance!
