I think Elk hair Caddis is a must for any box.

Foam beetles, ants, hoppers, Chernobyls. Most terrestrials in foam are easy to tie

can't beat chernobyls for an easy tie that's effective.
Also Peacock caddis in size 18-12

Black gnat as small as you can tie to sz14 . Work great early on the bow always seems to get interest.

With "not difficult to tie" being a criteria,pretty hard to beat Fran Betters' patterns for simplicity,durability,fishability....win/win/win.
The Usual,Haystack,and Ausable Wulff are all FB originals that float like corks and take lotsa fish.Not really specific hatch matchers per se,but more like attractor type dries that represent many trout foods,nothing in particular but everything in general sorta thing?Great dries to tie on when your just prospecting for fish and there's no really defined hatch coming off.

Yes I have about a dozen more ant patterns in my box in various colors. When the fish zone in on ants it can be as good as any other hatch

It is one of my favorites but doesnt not last through many fish. The extended body is all one feather so it can be a challenge finding the perfect feather for the pattern, especially if one is picky like me lol.
