If it's a cold water creek, fish small bead or prince nymphys in the heat of the day. Watch the hatches, they're typically some sort of blue / tan mayfly or caddis.

Smaller the fly, the better. If you know there's some big ones in there, try luring them out with a small to medium sized wooly bugger fished in a variety of retrieves. I've found a jerky, panicked retrieve works well for browns on the truckee.

good luck

Good call Kairo! I have a few hard to thread size 22 zebra midges. 7x with 22 hook, can take 15 minutes on a cloudy day :)
