Try a hares ear with a bead head and trail a beadless hares ear, pheasant tail, or caddis emerger (x caddis, caddis pupa (green or brown)). I have also fished a caddis pupa up top with a smaller weight and a hares ear or x caddis down 18-24 inches below the top fly. When you notice those fish hitting the surface and no flies that can be seen, try one of these combinations and also try sweeping (casting across river towards the bank and tighten and strip line slowly, pausing) the fly or stripping after the float. I have caught quite a few in the past week while floating it through the hole and then just letting the line sweep back until it is below me. Good luck.
