Flows and clarity are perfect on the Upper. Some good times can be had up around Dunsmuir, but the mid sections from Pollard Flat up to Simms are fishing well. It is a small black fly game for now, #18-20 black Zebra Midges, the BP Weiss nymphs, Jigged X-Mays and any Perdigon you have in your box will work well. Now can be a good time to swing and strip streamers as these fish will definitely be interested in eating small fish. Closer to the lake Shad patterns will work like the Shad Float 'n Fly, Sculpins are always good, try Barr's Slumpbuster in olive and black are two good options. Blue Wing Olives and midges will be good nymphs to try in the mornings, olive and black X-Mays and S&Ms along with the BP Weiss Nymph and Olive Hotspots.
