Default Willow creek fly selection

Will be heading to willow creek this weekend with my buddy. Was wondering if the pros round here had any late season fly suggestions for willow creek? Was pretty successful with hoppers last weekend off the high wood, and have a few buggers/ leeches in my box but any other suggestions to pick up would be great.

There are still some hoppers around down south and cutties do love the big foam flies, but this late in the season I would have some smaller dries like blue wing olives and such with me. I would be prepared to nymph as well because the hatches are getting fewer and fewer as it gets colder.

Blue winged olives I have. Any specific nymphs? Might try the hopper dropper out.

The ants are still good if you want to get them on top.
