Sorry for the title but as the Olives were in full swing (10:00 AM till 3:00 PM) I had a two hole section all to myself and the trout lined up and began to eat Olives not big fish but nice fish 6" to 12" class, very dark brown and healthy. The normal feeding lanes were taken up by these guys and the larger ones were in the back flow areas. I tied on a #20 Half Loop thin body dark olive emerger and took or missed every feeding fish in the first hole. As I took the largest fish from the back flow a guy in a black Ford F-250 drove by and saw me, low and behold he pulled over as I landed the fish and he started to cast in the pool above me, off the bank high above the feeding fish- the result- fish DOWN! He then walked down the bank and spooked the fish that were feeding in my pool, the ones that I was going to cast to, "Catching any?" was his question and it was all I could do to not say "I was ass hole till you put them down when you stepped on em". How the hell can these guys be that stupid, take up golf and get the hell off the water because you have no manners!
The next Olive hole that he screwed up holds at least 10-12 nice fish but I saw 1 in the far bank back flow that he did not put down, took him and was at least happy about that. No more Olive areas to fish and it was a bit late for them to continue. Time to find a Midge pool, the Swimming Pool Hole was rocking and rolling in the back flows, a #26 black down winged midge was the ticket. If they are on Midges you can expect that if there was no other hatch they will take them in the flows but if the Olives are done expect the better fish to feed on Midges in the back flows, 100% upstream presentation is required and a great float will get you fish. The only problem with this presentation is that you have to wade deep to get to the back flow current seam to get the float that you need, that results in very cold feet and legs. I have seen times when the trout will take a Griff's Gnat but that's usually when they are taking Midges in the current feeding lanes.
Enjoy the attached video, you'll see the bank he walked on to put the fish down Did talk to Steve from Fly Fishers Paradise and he commented that the trout were very active today, that means he had a very good day also, sometime you need a traslator to understand what has been said.
