Blue Wing Olive Comments:
Nymph
Use the classic across and down method.
Dun
Float the fly over feeding stations. Blue Wing Olive on #20 t.u.e.
Spinner
Spinner fall occurs at dusk. Fish the same as duns. Since duns may still be active, determine which phase the trout are taking. Use full spent pattens.
