+1 with Jesse.
Beetle downstream from overhanging trees or a floating beetle with a sunken ant.
Also agree that a rain makes surface flies much easier to fish. I took a beginner to fish a difficult river. It was raining and the fish were push overs. They seemed oblivious to sloppy casting and drag. He didn't know how fortunate he was that it was raining.
