You could use a floating line in the early morning and late evening, but with the heat of the day or storm moving in, they are going to go deep.
You can try deep nymphing with your floating line and a leader the length of the depth. Sonar is great here but you can drop some forcepts or some kind of weight to determine where the bottom is. Then set an indicator to suspend that fly off the bottom about a foot or so.
Dries are great on a River/stream, but can be hit miss on stillwater. Sure is fun when they are rising though.
I do use a sinking line and attach a streamer and a nymph. Cast out and either a steady strip ot s slow figure eight.
Might hit Strawberry this weekend, be happy to share what I know which ic not everything[
