What flies would you buy?
Pathfinder101:
When I was younger I used to just go through fly tying books and tie two or three of anything. I also know that I still have a lot of those things in my vest, and they have never been used. Now-a-days I do 90% of my stream/river fishing with 4 flies:
1. Elk Hair Caddis
2. Adams
3. Parachute Adams
4. Bead Head Hares Ear Nymph
5. Bean Head Pheasant Tail Nymph
6. Wooly Bugger
For lakes I usually use the same, except I would add a fair assortment of Chronomids.
RightPlace-RightTime:

:yeah: Except my pattern list is a little different. If you are a big trout fisherman a little travel tying kit works like magic when you are trying to match a hatch.

Wow. I just went back and read what I wrote last night (with a severe head cold and a good dose of nyquil). I said 4 flies, but then listed six. Nyquil's mean %E##$. I should stick to whiskey.
Intruder:
Some good info already posted. Suggest adding some Wulff's to you aresenal too and maybe some foam bodied flies. You need these when fishing faster water. Get a handful of the basics that folks have suggested and really concentrate on presentation cuz that's about 80% of it.
