Dries:
1) Size 12 MB dun
2) Size 14 Rusty Spinner
3) Size 14 sulpher dun - Parachute
4) Size 18 BWO - thorax tie
5) Size 24 Trico spinner (cut tails off, mess up the wings, and it doubles as an effective midge)
Nymphs
6) #12 MB nymph
7) #16 Pheasant Tail
8) Golden stonefly - Maybe a size 8 or 10ish.
Streamers:
9) Black Sculpin
Other
10) cream glo bug or sucker spawn - salmon probably gets more use, but if you have cream, you can carry a set of markers and get the whole color range.
Tough cuts:
1) #14 parachute adams. Gets a lot of use from me on brookie streams. But I got a 14 parachute sulpher up there. I went the opposite of the common method, and am instead using the sulpher as the "jack of all trades". You can carry a marker and darken it up, but it's a lot harder to lighten a fly.
2) Sizes 10, 12, and 16 rusty spinners. I use rusties soooo often for evening spinner falls, and they can be picky on size. But thinking more deeply, the majority are 12-16, and a 14 will work in a pinch.
3) Royal Wulff - same as parachute adams but for heavier riffs. I'll just make do with the para sulpher and plenty of floatant!
4) Walts worm - often use as a caddis imitation. Figured I could make a few PT's a little cigar shaped.
5) Hare's Ear - The PT is a decent stand-in.
6) Midge larva - important winter/early spring nymph.
7) Wooly Bugger - I use it as a streamer on non-limestoners (fewer sculpins). But I figure a sculpin is close enough. You absolutely need 1 streamer in the list, though, and I'd pick black over other colors.

In no particular order:
Olive woolly bugger
Big rubber legged stonefly nymph
Black foam ant
Black wet ant
EHC
Chartreuse&white clouser minnow (mainly for smallies but you can literally catch anything on clousers!)
Zebra midge
Pheasant tail nymph
BWO emerger
"Near 'Nuff" sculpin
Reading pcrays response above, I like the woolly bugger on shallower streams, freestone or limestone. Yeah the sculpin looks close enough but is too heavy for a fair number of streams I fish. So I included both. Olive WB is far and away my most productive fly- black has been very hit or miss for me.
