Not much dry action but a few chironomids and baetis in the warmest part of the day.

Dries- Extended Body BWO, Last Chance BWO and small Parachute Adams

Nymphs- Pheasant Tails, PT Cruizer, Hares Ears, Surface Emergers, WD-40 and Zebra Midges.

Streamers- Throw dark patterns and very slow retrieve on the swing as close to the bottom as you can manage.
