Expect nymphing to be the most productive with larger nymphs.  Attractor nymphs with a midge dropped off are a good option, or bust out the Euro nymph rig.

Mayfly Nymphs: Thread Baetis, Jujubaetis, Split Back BWO, Killer Mayfly 18-24. Juan’s Sniper Baetis 20-24.

Attractors: San Juan Worms, Annelids, Pheasant Tails 16-20, Orange Crush Jig 14-16, Duracell 12-14, Frenchie 12-16, Tung Soft Spot 12-16.
