You can find definitely fish in the North West however the South has higher fish densities. Assuming you are going to be nymphing, I'd start with prince nymph # 14, and a SJW #10 for two flies that will almost always produce. As you'll discover there are thousands of other flies to choice from as well. Note: there is a ton of good advice on the basics on this site if you search through old posts.

Check the hatch charts and try Edworthy Park, Bowness Park, Varsity. I've always had success in those areas.
