After a summer of fishing primarily streamers, it is time again to fish dry flies. Late summer and fall typically produce more dry fly action than any other time of the year, except for perhaps spring. Faithful Blue Wing Olives are hatching still, as well as Midges and Tricos that can frustrate to no end. To add to the frustration is the fact that the fish always seem to be more skittish in the fall. Heavily pressured fish are wily and hesitant, barely making a ripple. Further, any drag will turn them away, yet any slack and you will miss the hit. Thomas Paine once said 'These are the times that try men's souls,' was that about taxation without representation or was it during a trico hatch?
