Fishing further up stream is a better bet. Closer to the springs the better. With the colder weather fish should be stacked in winter holes. Not as easily spooked this time of year as they are in the summer.
For flies i'd recommend, blood worms, scuds, Pheasant tail nymphs, Midges, leeches. All drifted under an indicator in deeper water, pools, slots. Dont focus your time on the shallow under cut banks right now.
Bring some parachute midges. If they start to hatch, it can be a feeding frenzy.
