Well that is really odd.. because Bb major and g minor(relative minor) neither one have a Fsharp in the key.. But if your improvising I would suggest stick with Bb major and noodle on that and see how you sound.. If i had the piece in front of me I could help better :(

Actually, F# definitely is in the key of G minor. It's the leading tone.

The best way to start out improvising is to mess around with the preexisting melody. I'm sure you'll have a segment of the melody ( G G Bb G   GG!  Bb Bb G Bb C Bb A in the key of g minor) at some point, just run with that and put in little embellishments.

You can make it bluesy by adding in C#s, mess around with C# D C and Bb, they're really juicy chord tones.

Another thing is to outline the triad of the chord in the measure you're playing in. They usually display the chords in the music above the bars.
