I'm with Charles on the Elk Hair Caddis, never hit the Sierras without an assortment of sizes and colors. More sizes than colors though.
You should also carry some ant patterns, trout throughout the range eat them every day.
Cutter's Perfect Ant is as good as any.
A couple of 'Hoppers in there too, just in case.
I've known a couple of fishermen, good ones at that, that would use only one pattern. Down in Calaveras county it was a Grey Hackle Peacock and farther north it was a red Humpy. Both of these guys could out fish me quite nicely.

Elwood: It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.
Jake: Hit it.
