Start frequenting a locally fly shop to get some month to month info throughout the season, many good ones in Calgary. A small book called western hatch guide is a great start, it have photos of bugs and flies. Minimal info and can be kept in your pocket. Don’t buy alot of flies that look or sounds cool, just stick to some general attractors and a nymph/dry to match whatever is most available each month.
