Have materials, need recipes

Hey guys, a freind of mine and I have just started tying flies, and I just got a bunch of discontinued materials, but I've only ever tied 2 wolly buggers. I was wondering if anybody could share some ideas or recipes for flies,nymphs, or anything else that uses these items-
 
Dubbing, extra fine poly-
 
Adams Gray, White, Blue Wing Olive, and Burgundy.
 
Feathers-
Saddle hackle short badger,
 
Black and grey(dun?) marabou.
 
I can also get what ever else is necessary as far as hooks, threads and beads go except for maybe some of the realy odd exotic stuff.

    Here is a nice link that has numerous patters with recipes and directions.

    Click on the fly of the week, and from there you can access previous weeks.

    May the holes in your net be no larger than the fish in it.

    Thanks guys. I've browsed some of those sites and they have some beauties. That bluenose at the bottom of the page looks good enough to eat. I used some basics yeasterday and tied up a couple of nymphs and wooley buggers. Having trouble with the pinching technique of wrapping on the maribou and chenille to a wooley bugger, and apparently I used enough dubbing on a single nymph for several lifetimes, but that seems like part of the learning curve.
     
    I'll try to get a few pics up for some chuckles. One is a #10, so them fishes can't miss it.

    pete stick with one pattern till it becomes sort of second nature. than move on to another you will have the urge to try it all, but believe me it is easier to learn the basics.

    I didn't say these are the ten suggestions
