Dry dropper for sure.

Lots of pocket water there, but that last pic looks like there’s a nice pool on the left though. High stick a nymph through the pocket water and get a nice drift starting from upstream of that pool with an indicator

Oh, that looks fun! First of all if you don’t see fish rising to feed at the surface, and i would be surprised if you did, i’d be fishing nymphs. Along the lines of a dry-dropper, i would start with a single weighted nymph with a synthetic yarn indicator. Dorsey indicator specifically. Fish close, only leader in the water, 9 or 10 foot rod, fly line held above the water surface to minimize drag, tightline. Or mono rig style.

I’d euro nymph it.

Euro/high stick.
Dry dropper/indicator works well here too but I thinks it’s easier/more productive to keep the fly line off the water whatever you do.
Beaded nymph and work the seams and eddies around the rocks. Cast a little ways ahead of a rock so the nymph has time to get to depth before reaching the backside of the rock can be the key, just depends on stuff.
Poke around with some fast sink rate flies and you’ll start to figure out the stuff.

This is super fun water to fish. Be a bit stealthy and try and get close to the soft water and drop a fly. Almost all the fish will be holding in the soft water pockets. I like dry flies on a creek like that, but a dry dropper works too.

Picture 3. Think of the river of a conveyor belt with food on it. Fish are lazy, so they want to be able to spend as little energy as possible while still being close to food. They’ll hide behind those rocks where they don’t need to expend a lot of energy swimming, and pop out when they see some food coming down the conveyor belt.

Dry dropper on the seams on the edge of the fast water,and pretty much ever seam on the slower water in picture 3.

First thing I think is euro nymphing, or dries.
Euro with a BFU stone nymph and a midge trailer.
