big temple dog on plastic tube or a monkey tied on alu tube or doubles, fished off a super fast sink tip.
or maybe a 2inch floating devon would do the trick??

When faced with very low and cold water early in the season whats your 1st line of attack to get a springer? a favourite on the thurso ( a shallow river) in spring is the full floater and big waddie.

On the Ness which is clear as crystal I would use a highly mobile shrimp fly on a light wire wilson double with a fast sinking tip or leader at least 10ft long. Mobile meaning a fly with fox hair or soft mobile flowing hair in the dressing, not too heavy dressed, so the hair can flutter about in the slow water. The light wire hook also moves easier in the slow/low water
A small red minnow also works heh heh

When things are hard going and not restricted to the fly I go for the floating rap-its hard to beat
