I’ll assume you mean when water drops and clears. Usually July here.

In any case, during the morning BWO hatch I like sparkle duns. Upright wings float well, good visibility, but supposedly they ride a little lower in the water. Olive or PMD are my preferred but just needs muted colors.

Evening caddis hatch I like just the standard elk hair caddis. Sometimes I will tie on another BWO pattern in the evening, parachute Adams is a good one.

The rest of the day I’m probably nymphing. If the water is shallow I’ll use a dry/dropper setup. Ribka mentioned a stimulator pattern, it’s a good one for the dry. For the nymph I usually use a pheasant tail, good ribbed hares ear, or copper John. Something like that. If the water is deeper I’ll run a couple nymphs and a strike indicator.

A lot depends on the local bugs too. If a rocky canyon with stoneflies you might have good luck with a little bigger dark nymphs. I rarely use a fly bigger than a size 16 or 18 usually.

Oh man this particular place the water does not run dirty long. High yes. High temps for the next week will bring it about perfect before it lowers again as cool temps invade. This weekend it out to be very fish able. I'll be there sat morn. Cant wait.
