Dealing with small fry, Nestucca

Spent the day fishing the Nestucca upstream from Amber Glen last week and spotted some good fish in the crystal clear water. The problem all day was fry attacking my flies. I couldn’t put practically anything in or on the water they wouldn’t go for. Really frustrating. Does anyone have any secrets to share?

rhhays... It's kinda hard to say with the minimal info that you provided, but I think maybe you slap on a huge streamer and try to get that to the good fish. Not familiar with the Nestucca, but we're talking trout here , right ?

Salt and pepper?
