Default Essential stillwater patterns?

I am looking to do some still water fishing over the winter as i usually fish rivers and would like to know if you guys have any tips on "essential flies" to have in the box. I fish in fife and will be on raith and loch leven most likely. But any general help is much appreciated.

Creepers are a good general alrounder for winter, you'll proberly want something like that for leven, on the point fly.

You'll get them from fulling mill.

Best maybe to ask the boys at the raith whats catching. Then tie some up. But generally some dancers tied in different colours would do. So they say at most fisheries.
