Blue Wing Olive - Parachute | 3 Pack

A delicate, natural mayfly dry for fickle weather and selective trout. The Blue Wing Olive’s slim olive abdomen and upright gray-dun wings create a crisp silhouette that matches common BWO hatches on cloudy days and cool evenings.

  • When it excels: Early spring and fall; overcast or drizzly days; gentle riffles, seams, and glassy tailouts
  • Why it works: Subtle olive body and dun wings match naturals; low-riding footprint sits in the film for convincing, drag-free drifts
  • Pack size: 3 flies
  • Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
  • Ready to fish: Sparse, durable tie with consistent proportions for lifelike presentations

How to fish it

Use a 9–12 ft leader with 5X–6X and make reach casts to feed slack; target soft seams and foam lines. If fish refuse, step down tippet or switch to a BWO emerger before the peak, then a rusty spinner near dusk.

Care

Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing; refresh floatation with a powder/shake desiccant as needed.

Satisfaction

30-day returns/exchanges.
