Adding one more thing to this....stay low. I have been fishing nothing but rivers this week and those fish can spot you 15' away!
I agree on the PRB. Split shot only on the end of leader. with tags about 12" to 18" away. Nice things about tags. You can place your split shot on the end of your leader, attach a 12" piece of tippet about 6" up from split shot and un weighted fly will be on the bottom but not snagging.
On other suggestion, try WET FLIES. Softhackles. Olive, Orange, Purple. When wet they can represent so many insects, and the undulate action attracts fish. Old School.
