That midge hatch on the CR is TOUGH! Requires tiny patterns, tiny tippett, and excellent line control to prevent any drag. I find a #22 bh copper john dropped off a #22 Griffiths knat is usually money when they are focused up. Before the river changes, a #18 bh red pheasant tail produced some monster bows/browns for me. Of course, I haven't been back to the CR since the "change" so none of this could hold true today.

Caught the biggest brown of my life on a cicada @ the Green River in UT. Nothing funner then when those big trout are sucking down cicadas and hoppers along the bank! Love it!
