The last few times that I’ve fished the Lower Yuba River I have run into a fairly strong hatch of Blue Wing Olives or BWO’s as we affectionately call them, most of the time I call them “those darned BWO’s”. I’ve seen them coming off, but can I catch one of the fish that are eating them. Forget-about-it.
I’m usually rigged up with my 6 weight and nymphs, shot and all when I run into a hatch. So I’m not really set up right to start casting dries, emergers, cripples, or soft hackles like I should be…..
