Crystal bugger, now I have only caught one on a fly so my opinion may be somewhat biased

Tandem Globug eggs. About 8-12 inches apart always works. I've also used a globug single egg on top then used a real egg on the bottom.
 
The drift is the ticket!

I've caught fish on two things so far this year cleos and marabou jigs . Mostly throwing spoons off the wall , nothing is fun with ankle deep water . Fish are legit getting chased in the streams thus far. But that said anything flashy when the waters low

emerald shiner streamers, wooly buggers, followed by drifting with a miracle nymph (look it up, easy yet deadly tie), especially for pressured fish.

Yes that one. Only difference, learned to tie it by covering the hook in black thread, and then wrapping white floss over it in order to create a silvery look when it gets wet.

Do you use the miracle nymph as a dropper behind the above flys stated?

I like to fish it in a tandem rig, with a brightly colored glo bug that you can see under water on top, the egg serves as both a fly and an indicator.

Glow bugs work Great, I always use them in a tandem rig most of the time but I do put in as part of the tandem rig is what we call a cyrstal meth fly, always the second fly in the rig, 16-18 inches from the bottom fly ( glo bug)". Drift and water speed dictates where we fish this.

I tied 16 and had a few takes when I was up there.

Usually size 16-18, gets a bit tough to tie much smaller than that.
