Blue Winged Olive, Emerger, RS2

Description

Product Overview and Heritage The Blue Winged Olive Emerger RS2 represents a revolutionary evolution in emerger pattern design, featuring the innovative RS2 (Rim Chung’s Second) style that has proven exceptionally effective during BWO hatches. This specialized pattern has been specifically engineered to imitate the critical emergence phase of Blue Winged Olive mayflies, making it particularly effective when trout are selectively feeding on emerging insects. The combination of slim profile, precise proportions, and specialized materials creates a highly effective pattern that consistently produces results during challenging conditions.
