Don't forget your light. No matter how big the fish are that are rising, you can't thread a #22 midge in the dark.

Don't forget your bug juice during black fly season. No amount of toughness makes them feel better.

Don't forget your reel. BUT.....IF you do forget your reel...a 9' leader tied to the tip-top, some tippet, and splitshot used to tightline nymph.....will catch alot of fish too:^)
