While stripping steamers on Crowsnest Lake I noticed a chironomid hatch and the odd fish working the surface. I switched over to a strike indicator with a duo of mids with very limited success. The dominant species of fish seemed to be Lakers of which I eventually caught on different types of streamers. Bait guys were doing much better with dyed cut bait. Although Lakers prefer cooler water and inhabit the depths, I can't see why a real good hatch would not bring them up if surface temps were cool enough.
It will be interesting to hear from others on your inquiry.
