Blue Wings.

"All the world is green"

Tom Waits

Things are starting to warm up again after this past weekend's cold fronts,winds and rain. We had snow in the higher elevations as a reminder to leave some extra layers in the truck. Flows came up a little, clarity is good. Temps fell back earlier but are now creeping up. Fishing was inconsistent due to flow changes,storm fronts and the hundreds of other excuses fishermen use throughout the season.
In the past few days the Blue Wing Olives have been making a stronger appearance. Some waters had a large amount of duns on the surface with no risers. Another river would have a weak hatch of olives and good number of heads feeding. When there were no risers we would nymph the hatch. We were either hooked up or smelling the skunk.
Don't overlook the midge this month. We fished a pond outlet recently during a good midge fest. It was great until being shutdown by hail and thunder.Get it while you can.
