I'll give you what I do for trout.
Go-to streamer: Size 10 GBH black crystal woolly bugger. If nothing on black, then my first fly change is to olive. Bread and butter patterns for me are size 8 and 10 GBH and plain, black, olive, and brown woolly buggers, black and olive leech and minileech patterns, olive matukas, Stayner Ducktails/Sheep Creek Specials, and, even though they may not techniquely be "streamers", Carey's specials - I fish them like streamers. If I could only have 3 flies in my streamer box, they would be size a 10 black GBH woolly bugger, a size 10 olive GBH woolly bugger, and a Carey's special.
See my post here for my general techniques:

Just my way of doing things.
