Description

Another classic BWO pattern that features a modified wing silhouette and an extended body that fish love. Fish these during overcast and mediocre weather conditions when the bugs can't get off the water as quick, making them an easier target ripe for the picking!

Field Notes

This is a Blue Winged Olive dry fly pattern designed to imitate a mayfly hatch on the surface. Fish it during overcast or mediocre weather when trout are keying on small insects and the naturals are struggling to lift off the water. It works best as a delicate dead-drift presentation in calm to lightly riffled water.

Pros

  • Realistic BWO mayfly profile
  • Good choice during selective surface feeding
  • Extended body improves silhouette and float presentation

Cons

  • Best when fish are actively rising to small mayflies
  • Can be hard to see in low light or broken water
