Bring your rain jacket today, you could need it.  With today’s cloud cover you should expect some pretty decent mayfly hatches to come off and not just in the morning.  Hopper dropper rigs will be your next best bet until you start to see the dry fly fishing heat up.  Streamers can be killer in these conditions as well.  For dries use big PMDs, BWOs, elk hair caddis, hoppers, Chernobyls, Stimulators, Rogue stones, half downs, bullet heads, parachute adams, and purple hazes. For nymphs use Pat’s rubber legs, princes, double beaded stones, micro stones, beer head baetis, San Juan worms and batman nymphs. For streamers use big dark double bunnies, sculpzillas, mouthwashes, standard buggers, sparkle minnows and dark articulated patterns.
