Blue Winged Olive, Traditional fly

Description

The Blue Winged Olive Traditional fly is a timeless dry fly classic, an essential dry fly pattern for any angler’s fly box. This simple yet effective dry fly design has been fooling trout for decades, perfectly replicating the iconic silhouette of the Blue Winged Olive mayfly.  Its understated olive body, subtle segmentation, and delicate feather wing offer a realistic imitation of both duns and spinners. While newer, flashier patterns may come and go, the Blue Winged Olive Traditional dry fly remains a proven fish-catcher, especially when trout are fixated on those prolific mayfly hatches.  Keep a selection of these in your dry fly arsenal, and you’ll always have a reliable option to turn a tough day into a successful one.
