Freshwater fly help

I know this is a striper forum and it's saltwater but since I now own a kayak and have access to a lot of lakes I found some old flies meant for trout (though I cheat with a casting bubble).

My knowledge is minimal but I know fly fisherman go nuts over which exact fly to use during the course of the seasons and they absolutely crush fish more than anyone else (many times have I seen good sized trout leaping out of the water to eat flies and wouldn't touch anything else).

Any place I could start in knowing what bugs are on the lake or is there a generic fly that is the bread and butter? I'm not looking to start a collection, just a few that actually will get bit. Bait shop crews weren't any help.
