Amazingly, after 32 years, I catch 95% of my fish on a dozen patterns. Like I have always done. And the "you gotta do it this way" arguments such as the precise matching of hatch and life stage and anatomical features of a 1/4 inch bug fail for me since I still catch fish, more than my share in most cases. If you try to make this sport rocket science, all you do is make it harder on yourself and easier on the fish.

My immodest $.05 (adjusted for gas prices).
