Olives, steady as she goes

Olives & more olives, they keep on going just like the Bunny, if the sun shines or not it's game on. About 10:30 to 11:00 AM they begin and will go strong till 3-3:30 PM the size 20 duns are on. This dun is a typical\ olive that has a small body to wing ratio, a 20 thin dark olive body with very large 16/18 wings that are  dark dun, either fish a parachute or an emerger for the best result. Make sure that you look at every riseform to determine the exact choice the fish are eating, do not assume that your float was not correct or on time- look and determine what stage they are eating. It would also be a good time to add a dropper about 3-4" below the main fly, a #20 pheasant tail would be a great choice. The fish in Spring Creek don't seem to mind the droppes as much as the Penns Creek browns do. If the temps stay about the same this should go on for the rest of the month and in to Dec. One word of caution if you fish the first week of deer season- for heavens sake wear some very bright colors, our wading gear is very close to a deer's natural color!
Tight lines.
