Use brightly colored "Shad Dart" flies.

A fly called the Buggit has worked well for me. Use dumbbell eyes, a marabou tail, and then wrap chennile from the bend forward and around the eyes and then tie off at the eye. Examples are on line. Also, have used small Crazy charlies with success. anything like a shad dart will work. Tommy's torpedo also is good.
