Clear Creek is fishing great recently. BWO's, small black stoneflies, and midges are routinely hatching, and keep an eye for some caddis in the coming weeks. Light hopper-dropper setups are what we'd start with, then move to dries as we see active risers. There aren't many great dry fly options to imitate the small black stoneflies, but a black caddis does a great job!
