I haven't fished there is several years but I used a sink-tip line with a size 12 bead head soft hackle fly with a black/copper body. When I fished it the water was not very clear, about 4' visibility, so I used flies with either a bright colored bead head or some flash in the body or tail to get their attention.
If you don't have a sink-tip just use a floating line and add a small split shot a foot and a half or so from the fly. Cast out, let it sink a bit and then strip it back in with fairly slow strips because of the cold water temperature. The trick was to keep the fly moving and near the bottom. Some of the fish would not hit until my line was almost into shore. I'm sure most any size 10 or 12 fly with some flash in it should wake them up. It's too bad they don't let you use a float tube there, then you could get away from the crowds.
Good luck.
