It's midge season on the South Platte, so running tiny bugs in sz22-26 will provide the most action. Eggs, leeches, and scuds will make for great lead flies, but sometimes these offerings can be too bold and swapping to a sz18-20 midge larva will be the ticket. It's still dry fly season, so don't put away your floatant just yet. Mid-morning midge hatches will provide great surface action on calm/sunny days.
