Any good wet fly patterns?

[roll cast]

I'm totally p++++d off had arranged to go fishing next week 4 times after a serious lack of fishing due to July holidays and parents dragging me round half the flipping countryside and just when I thought I had the perfect week planned on Friday morning have killer sore throat, pain in my ears and fever, mum rings th doctors and I go up to them and doc says I have tonsilitis so thats my plans scuppered.

Back to the point now what any good wet fly patterns I could tie to keep me occupied and hope fully fill up some empty spaces in my fly boxes.

Thanks
