Black/Brown Stones (10-14), Deerfield Stones (14) Rainbow and Case Caddis Czech Nymphs (10-14) Pheasant Tails (14-18), Zebra Midge (18-22), Woolly Buggers (6-10). I expect Buggers, Flashy Buggers and Streamers to become very effective on the new arrivals. Czech and Flashback style nymphs have produced some fish. The catch and release areas have been stocked according to the reports along with parts of the Westfield River. With the recent warm temps the water levels have risen so check flows before you head out.
