for calmer water like the Harrison - nothing works better than a olive wooly bugger with a gold cone head and some flash in the tail. This is basically the same fly that's effective for coho. For place like the Squamish I prefer bunny patterns sizes #1 through #6 - hot pink and florescent green seem to be best in that order. You can tie them like zonkers or just wrap the shank with a fur strip. Tubes work well too. Purple is another color some folks like. Egg patterns in hot ornage pink and red are also very effective - use those on the vedder and the chums will pull your arms off.
