Fished at Johnson's Sunday night, the olives (Drunella lata) are still going strong maybe not as heavy but there non the less. Air temp at 71 and water temp at 62.1, I think that the heavy winds and low humidity a good heavy spinner fall might be pushed to today. I have looked at all the other web sites and they are telling everyone that the olives are size 14, bull crap! Drunella spinners are a solid 16 (you could use a 18 long shank hook and be fine but if you fish a 14 your out of the ball park. I sampled 10 spinners and compared them to my pattern and they are an exact length match for a Tiemco 101 #16, so much for the experts. We had to fish just below the riffles (not a good area to fish these guys because of their wing beating habit) but the old Johnson's cabin had a ton of kids swimming and enjoying the water. Spotted one wonderful very large brown on the far side and did get him to take but I had too much line out and was not in control of it. I gave the spot to Tom B. and he had a go at him also- no hookup. At about 8:30 we saw a lot of light cahill's emerging but did not stay to see if the trout fed on them. They are not called ginger quills!
Yes there are stoneflies,caddis,craneflies and Iso's but not enough to get them going on any of them, read the other web site very carefully, just because they tell you they are there does not mean the fish are on them. Almost beetle time, if the raspberries are ripe it's beetle and ant ti
