Every lake west of the Mississippi and north of Texas will have chironomids,
callibaetis, leeches and damsels -- for sure. Almost anywhere venture I take
a stillwater box containing (I have the box in front of me as I write this):
dragon nymphs, damsel nymphs, adult damsels, self-bodied Carey Specials,
Six-Packs, waterboatmen, scuds, cracklebacks, caddis nymphs, caddis adults,
callibaetis emgergers and duns. I keep chironomids, Racoons and Lady
McConnells in a second box.
I can usually find something that the fish will bite in this selection.
Other folks probably have their own list of necessary stillwater patterns.
