If you're bringing plugs to supplement your arsenal, I think you'd be hard-pressed to use 12-16 eels (which ideally are carried in a mesh eel-bag clipped to your wader belt) in the course of an all-nighter.
If it's where I think you're going, you should always have a few darters, needles, scandinavian swimmers, 5 inch blue storm wildeye rubber shads and 1.5 oz bucktails and porkrind (for white water!), tied off with some stiff 50-60 lb. fluorocarbon leader (for the rocks).
Korkers are a good idea, definitely bring a bottle of gatorade. A small plug bag and a day-hike backpack (with beverage holders) helps with the organization. Only bring food if you bring sufficient water - eating requires water! Bring enough meds you need in a zip-loc bag with you - always bring motrin or aspirin. Lastly, water proof flashlight with spare batteries and bulb and CELL PHONE IN DOUBLE-SEALED ZIP-LOC BAG WITH LOCAL POLICE NUMBER PROGRAMMED IN is very helpful in case you turn an ankle on a rock and need to summon help. And let someone know where you plan to be in case you lose touch or are in a remote area.
Asides from this pack as light as you can if you're going to hump it. Also pay attention to local parking rules if you're bringing the car.
