Fishing on the lower river continues to slow especially below Ashton Reservoir & Dam where waters warm up before being released to the river below.  Begin thinking terrestrial insects there.  Hoppers are not important yet, so beetle and ant patterns will bring fish up.  Fishing on the upper river has  picked up and the same strategy; presenting  beetles and ants is a good way to get interest from fish now that the big mayfly emergence peak is past.
