Olives started around d 11:30. Trout ate them very well. They continued to trickle off until 4. They ate surface in the film and below. Everything really. Great way to get back to flyfishing after 5 months.

Follow-Up: 3-22: Lovely weather but gusty. Very few, as in nearly no olives today. I've seen this before. In my experience, it's more common than not. It's like the creek blows it's load on olives one day. Then the next, there just aren't any ripe olive ready to hatch. Likewise, the fish were not very responsive. I've never had a good day when wind gusts are slapping the water's surface making those little choppy riffles on smooth sections. In my experience, the next day the area gets nice mild weather after this cold snap, it should be really good again. The water was nearly perfect, if a little on the clear side, actually.

I too was there Saturday, I even did a quick survey for the PFBC guy who was asking anglers questions. It definently was very windy and didnt see many risers myself although I did fairly well fishing 2 nymphs. I went all out tying olives to try to hit that hatch, but maybe next time the conditions will be better. The water was perfect, not too clear, and the temp was 49-50F at Benner Springs and at Paradise.
