anything thats floats has legs and moves and you can also tie some simple foam spiders with rubber legs.  this early in the season just try wet flies that you would normally use for trout works every time  ;D . actually i got a 8 incher today on a wet fly!

I've had my best luck for 'gills & suns on two types:  the elk hair caddis for on the surface & copper johns fro sub-surface.  This year I'm going to try some small emerald imitations for 'gills, suns, & perch.  They'll readily hit the real thing, so why not these?
so many fish, so little time

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

go for a griffith's gnat, it imitates a variety of surface insects, it's stupid easy to tie, and it'll still catch fish if you fish it wet.

you can also try experimenting and making up flies of your own. i've got one fly that literally looks like a little piece of moss, and i've caught more crappie on it than i care to remember
