Small jigs of about 1/32 oz. weight are killer. Good color combonations include black/purple, pink/white, and orange/white. I have had some great luck with olive bead headed wolly boogers in a size 6. You can dead drift these or strip them through tail outs. The water conditions will dictate the size and color of your flies and jigs, so pack several in different sizes and weights. Good luck I hope this helps.
