BWO

anyone seen any blue winged olives yet on spring creek or the FFO on yellow creek haven't had a chance to fish this winter, have been working all winter it sucks

Dave, if you get a day off, let me know. I'd like to fish YC in the next week or 2. I bet the olives are there already.

My windshield sported a few last Wednesday as I drove through Water Street.

I fished Yellow Creek today, probably for the last time ever.  I pulled into the lot around noon and noticed I was the 13th car in the lot!! 
 
I ended up looking for a place to fish most of the afternoon.  I found one small run which I had to myself and caught some fish out of it, once they shut off there I searched for more water with no success.  Just about every bit of water deeper than 2ft was occupied!!  Forget that place, there are plenty of other rivers in the area where I can do well and experience at least some solitude.
 
By the way, BWO's were few to none during the time I was there, between 12-3:30.  I saw a few risers, looked like they were taking midges, although I never got the chance to fish for any of them.  It was also pretty low, which sure didn't help support the crowds.  I must say, plenty of arrogant anglers on that stream, I am not sure how some of them could still walk with their noses that high in the sky.

The best time to fish YC is before the stock truck shows up. It's barely fished up til that point.

hey drake it looks like I am going to be a weekend warrior for quite a while we just got more jobs & none in state college I can't wait till next year when I retire working in fishing season sucks

Orfis rules duud

I fished YC on wed. There was only about 4 other vehicles there at the time. I did well on midges and noticed some blue wings coming off but very few. I would have to agree about some of the arrogant anglers on the stream. My last trip there, I was at the top of one hole and this old guy was at least 30 yards or so from me and he told me, "I don't love you right now and if you get any closer, I will tell every guy here that you like me." I flicked a little tongue at him and he left, lol. I wasn't even near this guy. The old man and a friend of his were surrounding my buddy earlier, almost hugging him and we let it go. I just hate people who think they own the stream.

If you can make it out some weekend, let me know.

That sounds like a fun place. To throw rocks I mean....

 
It wouldnt be hard to hit someone with a rock there. All you'd have to do is throw one across the creek anywhere on the FFO water, and you'd probably make contact with something with an orvis logo on it.

The olives just started on spruce. Not enough of them to fish on top, but the baetis nymphs are working pretty well.
 
Manged to catch this fatass on sunday. I apologize for the hero shot.
 

Yeah, it's not hard to tell where it came from.

no need for apologies....thats a great fish, thanks for sharing.

 
Indeed.
 
Every time I catch one of Beaver's fish, it's satisfying like flipping him off.

That's what the big Bows in Big Spring looked like below the hatchery when it was going. A 19" fish was about 4# & another # for every inch bigger. I miss those fish.

Where you going?
