I'll be at Tan Vat on Friday and wondering how the hatches have been. Hope to see some Caddis and some Blue Wing Olives. Also hope it's warmer than predicted.

If you have been reading my fishing and hatch reports (www.Tightline.Biz) they will help you with the bugs that are coming off on the Current River. The tiny Olives are still going good in the morning right now, but the weather is suppose to change Thursday getting colder. Friday forecast is for 30s and sunny. If it is sunny on Friday there may be some Caddis activity, but the cooler temps may limit the amount of activity. The Caddis hatching this time of year are about a size 16 in dark brown to medium brown. Also look for midges, but they are going to be very tiny....30-32. When the weather changes to cold and rain/snow look for the larger Olives to come off. They are about a size 20. Next Thursday's forecast would be perfect for them.

The following web site will give you the weather forecast for our area.

Have a great day, and don't forget extra clothing for winter fishing, just in case of an accidental dunking. Also watch for trap lines along the banks. They will be marked with red or green ribbons. I wrote a report on them last winter, you can also find that report on my web site.

Sam,

Thanks for the response.

You were right, it turned cold Friday and there was a pretty good hatch of #20 olives from about 10:00 AM on. The fish were rising to them regularly and it was a lot fun trying to catch them on a dry.
