I would have to say that some basic flies would be:
(Agreeing with FG) Wooly Bugger
Muddler Minnow
Adams
Elk Hair Caddis
Royal Wulff
Mosquito
Royal Coachman
Humpy
Royal Trude
Black Ant
Cinnamon Ant
Joe's Hopper
Prince Nymph
Pheasant Tail Nymph
Hare's Ear Nymph
Zug Bug
Copper John
Caddis Pupa
That's all I can think of right now. Specific sizes and colors will vary from area to area, one body of water to the next and even depending on the time of day. So whatever you do, get lots of choices and sizes. I would recommend talking with a local fly shop guy. I can recommend the Fly Shop in Redding (I am not sure where in Northern Cali you are) the number is (530) 222-3555. Give them a call and they might be able to set you up. But really look into a more local shop if you are a ways from Redding.
