Lots. Let us know what species do you want to fish for with them.
Lake, mountain stream, lowland river, or sea.
We can then make better suggestions.

Couple of good flies you could tie (google the name of the fly and "step by step" for tying instructions:

Griffith's Gnat - excellent dry fly in small sizes (16-20). Black thread, very light dubbing over this, and palmer a grizzly hackle along the hook. You will need very small grizzly hackles for this.

Para dun - good general purpose dry fly for upwinged flies in sizes 14-18. Grizzly hackle for wing (parachute style), calf tail for wingpost, dubbed body and a few hackle points for tail

Klinkhammer - good general purpose emerger (but you'll need special hooks) Grizzly hackle for wing (again parachite style), calf tail for wingpost, dubbed body


Woolly Bugger - great streamer (you'll need longshank hooks sizes 4-8) marabou tail, chenille (same colour as marabou) body and palmers saddle hackle (same colour as marabou) and a few strands of some kind of flash if you have any.

That would give you a good selection of dries and a streamer.
