You probably won't see much in the way of BWO's or Baetis until late March. They really start hitting on the bad weather days in April. The bugs you want to focus on are midges. Get yourself a handful of zebra midges, and sow bugs and you will be able to catch fish year round. Griffith's Gnat is a great midge cluster pattern if they are rising. I fish mostly dry in the winter with crappy little bugs that come from my imagination. Don't be afraid to fish small either. A #20 will work, but might not be small enough. Try starting with a #24.
