.. Had no
success fishing pools even if I worked close in ,then cast to middle, then
up under water fall. Tried to hide behind trees, rocks etc but
need some suggestions here--fish just would not rise in pools.

i know you have spent some time on slick rock creek--in my experience,
if you can catch fish from pools there, you can catch them anywhere. i have
seen bright days there when the only fish i caught were while literally
lying down, outside the water flow.
also, i have often had remarkably good results by casting a big (say
size 12) royal wulff on small streams. just did it, originally, for the
hell of it, after no success with tiny dries.
good on you, joe, for having the time and money to enjoy life.
