I really like this question, because I often think I could downsize to just one flybox and catch fish on most trout rivers in alberta most of the time. So here is my favorite 12 flies for Alberta
Stimulator
San Juan or wire worm
bead head gold ribbed hares ear nymph
prince nymph
copper john
parachute adams
madam X
kauffman's stonefly nymph
parachute light cahill
wholly bugger
foam hopper
griffiths gnat
These are fished differently but I think this is what I would carry if I could only pick 12. Maybe I would switch some after thinking about it but I think this would be a good start, especially for once you start fishing rivers
