The flow on rock creek is right at 500 cfs and fishing very well.  The mornings and evenings have been excellent and the mid day action is definitely worth the trip up here.  There are caddis hatches in the evening, and golden stones, PMDs, and yellow sallies available during the rest of the day. Dropping a nymph off your dry is still a good option, too. For dry flies, use chubby Chernobyls, stimulators, bullet head stones, half downs, parachute adams, purple hazes, elk hair caddis, and para wulffs. For sub surface patterns use micro stones, pheasant tails, Pat’s rubber legs, San Juan Worms, caddis pupae, double beaded stones and batman nymphs. Darker streamers have also been working.
