San Juan worms did the trick for me about this time last year. Had a couple of good days.

I fish it regularly was out there a few weeks ago and it was hot. Streamers this time of year are good but take time nymph runs and holes w/egg patterns(Rainbows were recently spawning) and big nymphs. If its slow try a size 12 BHHE(olive) trailed by a size 16 blood midge. Move around a lot until you find them, These fish in this stretch are very migratory.
Hope this helps.
P.S
Don't be afraid to use a 7wt. especially when the wind kicks up.

Anyone been up there lately?

I tried a week ago and got my butt kicked. I have heard that this area can be good.

Appreciate any info on how to fish this area.

I love fishing this section of the river...it has some really big fish. I like using big streamers. When fishing it, though, I would recommend a float trip. Wading it can be tough because the fish are sometimes pretty scattered.
