I’m not in that area but it’s all pretty much the same bugs anywhere in Alberta. Some of my fav flies are
Dry: stimulator, Caddis, mosquitoes, Adams, humpy
Nymph: copper John, zebra midge, bead head hates ear.
Those are
My fav. All around flies everyone will have a few different ones but generally all the roughly the same kinda shape and size just different patterns to represent the same bugs. I tie all my own so they have all been altered to my liking from what you buy in stores. Either way. Don’t get overwhelmed starting out. Pick a few that people suggest and try them out. My first couple years I used probably 4 different flies and caught lots of fish. Also a good way to start when you first get to a stream is tie a nymph 2-3’ below a dry fly and double your chances. As for gear start simple. 4-5 wt rod with floating line. Have around a 9’ leader and you should be golden. Last which nobody told me about for 2 years. Use floatant on dry flies. Anyways have fun. It’s a blast. Watch lots of videos
