This time of year you may get a few hatches coming off. A Caddis hatch is probably the most likely, use a Elk Hair Caddis, even if a hatch isn't coming off this is also a great attractor fly. There is also a slim possibility of some small BWO mayflies coming off, a Adams or parachute BWO to match the size would work. As previously mentioned a hopper can still work well, any kind of terrestrial could work well (ants, beetles, crickets). Any kind of attractor could work any time (renegade, royal wulf, stimulator, adams, G-gnat, etc.).
Nymphing is probably a good option to go with, although the technique/rig setup can get a little tricky. The Hares Ear is an all time favorite of many along with a Pheasant Tail. I've caught tons of Webeer fish on midges, a Zebra Midge in all colors will work. Caddis larva are and excellent option to go with, try a chamois caddis or peeking caddis. Prince Nymphs, Copper Johns, and scuds will all work.
This time of year is prime for streamer fishing! A wooley buggar stripped or nymphed will kick some brown trout in the mouth. Clousers, zonkers, muddlers will all get the job done, just don't forget to hang on tight.
Fall is best time to fly fish, hot dang.
