ok this is my home strech of river i fish it about 5 times a week since it is in my back yard. What i have been hitting most of my fish on is midge clusters or small ant patterns. all in the size 16-18. I even am picking a few up on bwos. but not to many. here in about 2 weeks the bwos will be coming off like crazy and is a great time for top water action. Underneath you need to be fishing small midges, zebras, discos, wd40s, brassies. If you dont catch any on those I will be quite surprised. But most important try to stay away from all the people (easier said than done) but do a little hiking in the mouth of the canyon or go at off hours to get as little disturbance as possible. Remember most of those fish have seen every thing thrown at them from rainbow power bait to double ott dare devils ( Yes i saw some guy chucking what looked like trolling gear to 12-16 inch fish)
