Gear recommendations, best time of year etc etc is all appreciated.

Fly fishing or gear? In the spring I tend to fish the lakes and starting in mid-summer I'll start hitting the rivers more.
If you're fishing flowing water then you need to be aware of the classified license system - most streams are classified which requires 20 bucks a day on top of your license. The Wigwam, Skookumchuk, and Michel are all going to a booking system for non-residents to limit angling pressure.
I'd definitely recommend a float trip for a day in the summer - either the Elk, Bull or St. Mary's. There's a shop in Fernie that will rent boats if you're comfortable on the oars. Send a PM if you'd like more details.
