Use a floating line.
Flies that work well for surface fishing include;
◦Sedge
◦Hopper
◦Klink-Hammer
◦Mini-Muddler
◦Daddy Long legs

for sub surfacefishing try;
◦Damsel
◦Hares Ear
◦Gold Ribbed Hares Ear
◦D.Bach
◦Buzzer
◦Bloodworm

fished it loads when I was younger, pretty much only natural stuff, dries emergers n buzzers, maybe get them little foam floats that twist onto your line so you can suspend the buzzer close to the surface thats worked for me alot
