Id probably replace the last two with baetis and hatchmaster maybe a stonefly

Is this a sensible list for a starter collection of flies for Calfornia? I'm
a newbie and someone offered to sell me thses for $25. I just want to make
sure this is a reasonably appropriate collection to start fly fishing for
trout in CA.

TIA
