As the Spring comes into view, it is looking OK not great but just fine, not too much rain/snow and stream levels are going down, except on warm days the level will bump up due to melt. If your going try to find a stable day that does not have those big spikes of warmer temps because the inflow of cold water will put a damper on the trout. Yes Olives and Midges are happening but you have to look at many spots to find the feeding fish, these hatches are not universal T/O the streams. Just got word the even Big Fishing Creek has some rising fish but you'll have to look for them. An Olive emerger in a size #18-20 is doing the trick and a black midge size #22-24 is the thing to use ( I also use a dark grey pattern), don't forget the Grif's midge!
I was in TCO fly shop in State College and picked up a new fly box, Tacky Hydrophobic SD Waterprooof Fly Box and about shit when I felt how much it weights- not for me! At my age I'm trying to eliminate weight not add to it. If you get your flies wet of put wet ones in your box just lay them open when you return from the stream to air dry and in a short time all will be fine- check out the Tacky and I think you might agree.
