Both rivers are frigid this time of year. Little Hole less so than the mile, and much less wind to deal with. Fish are in "slow" mode though. Dead drift small stuff on the Green, as the fish aren't too interested in chasing anything down. Anything works where you have 10,000+ per mile like the Green has, but nymphing will be best. Fish from mid-day to late afternoon for less ice in the guides and livelier fish. If you see some risers, which you will if you keep your eyes scanning, feed 'em a #18 griffiths, ant, para adams, cdc emerger, any sparse midge, something like that. Sparse, and low riding, in the film usually works.
Toss the "junk" in the shallower, yet slower, riffles from 1-2 feet deep. Tail outs and gravel bars. They will eat it if you make it fairly easy for them.
