I am fishing a river that is supposed to get a lot higher than normal, thus colder. I plan to use a lot of nymphs: paticullarly Case Caddis, Hare's ears, and Hendrickson wets... maybe even a march brown depending on what I see. will I see some dry fly action when the water is so high and cold? Or is it just "Nymph day?"

I bring this up because most of the NE is experiencing this for this week, and I'm taking my father fishing. It would be nice for us to get some Browns.
