I kind of get the impression after reading Barry Mitchell's book that your fishery is mostly top water. I lived in the Cariboo and there the only dry you needed was a Tom Thumb. Caddis larvae and stonefly nymphs worked wonders on the Quesnel, Horsefly, Cariboo, Blackwater and Chilcotin. We never worried about hatch matching other than if you saw a few mayflies you would stick on a Tom Thumb and trout would be on it like red on a radish. A few baitfish patterns, a muddler and when the salmon are spawning an egg pattern would fill your day with fun. I likely have much to learn but I'm up to the challenge. I got some tying to do. Hopefully moths haven't eaten my best dryfly cape as it doesn't see much use.
