Black and Olive Wolly worms.
Hairs ear nymphs in the spring.
Wet Peacocks and Coachmans.
I’ve not had luck with the drys in that area.

If its brownes he’s after, I would recommend,on the point, black and peacock spider,blea and black,coachman,mallard and claret,peter ross and silver butcher.For nympth patterns use pheasant tail,stickfly and shrimp. Middle fly needs to be flashy ie,dunkeld wickhams fancy.Top fly needs to be a bushy fly that you can dibble across the surface waves like red palmer or zulu.In summer a small muddler works wonders.Small single dries will work in late evening.If fishing from the bank dont cast to far,try to fish at 45 deg in front and work your way along the bank.Dont forget to keep the rod up .Brown trout take from below and will not chase a fly like rainbows.As the fish will manly small its best to use light gear no5/6 weight lines a long rod is useful about 10ft it is also long enough to use on a boat. Hope this goes some way to helping you out only wish I could be with him as well.Best of luck and tight lines.
