Description

Heritage and Design Excellence?The CDC Biot Spinner BWO represents a masterful approach to Blue Winged Olive spinner imitation, combining the natural properties of CDC with the segmented realism of biot bodies. This specialized pattern features premium CDC feathers that create an incredibly lifelike silhouette on the water’s surface while maintaining perfect flotation. The pattern’s unique design allows for exact imitation of spent BWO spinners, with the biot body providing segmentation and the CDC offering natural movement. Each fly is meticulously crafted to maintain the exact specifications that make this pattern so effective across varied fishing conditions.
