Yep, Blue Wings Olives may not be the ticket quite yet. Midges in all their stages will be what you want. They do tend to be on the small side but it can be alot of fun catching a big fish on a tiny tiny fly.
You will want to stay fairy light on you leaders and tippets and look for water that has some depth to it. Fish are fairly lethargic during the winter and are looking to conserve energy so back eddies or slack/pocket-water will be where they are holding up. Unless you see them rising get the fly down and fish it slow.
Sow bugs and scuds are also year around producers.If you need more info as to what to use let me know and maybe I can meet up with you and provide some flies for you to try.
