Generally speaking the later it gets in the year the fewer and smaller the bugs that hatch get. The next sizable bug will be the isonicya (sp) in mid to late Sept. Midges will be around, but at my age I can't see them to fish them.
Hoppers represent a prime rib of sorts for fish looking to fatten up for the winter. Stearmers really start to work well too as the young of the year present themselves. Soon the irrigation season will end and flows will slow making presenting easier, but fish more spooky.
Fish that are in faster water like riffles are there to feed, it takes to much energy to swim against the current to just hang out there. Hanging out is done in the current breaks infront of and behind rocks, along the banks and in pools.
