Bivisible brown dry fly

Description

Heritage and Design Excellence The Bivisible Brown represents a classic attractor pattern first popularized by Edward Ringwood Hewitt in 1926. This innovative pattern combines a brown palmered body with a distinctive white hackle collar, creating a highly visible and effective dry fly. Each fly is meticulously crafted to maintain the precise proportions that make this pattern so effective across varied fishing conditions.
