Sounds like me last year around this time. skunked way more often than not. With the exception of one outing, I also have not done well on brookie streams at all this year.
I'll second what Swattie said about sticking to a fly or tactic you have confidence in. A few weeks ago I wasn't doing all that great. Despite the low and clear water conditions I decided to try an olive woolly bugger because that is what I have the most confidence in, and caught fish right away. Didn't make sense, but it worked. Since then I've been starting every trip with that fly, even when conditions suggest it wouldn't work, and it has produced a couple browns every time. I'm not saying for sure that a woolly bugger will work on the streams you fish- the point is to use something that you have confidence in and then it's only a matter of time.

Got my first skunk of the year yesterday( it's too early for that!). Went out this afternoon to a C+R wild trout stream and caught 10 native brookies and 4 wild browns in about 2 1/2 hours. Now I feel better!
