A crisp, easy-to-track BWO dry that stays visible without sacrificing delicacy. The Blue Wing Olive Foam-Wing Parachute rides low in the film like a natural dun, while a slim foam wing/post and parachute hackle keep the fly buoyant and highly visible in flat light and gentle currents.
-
When it excels: Early spring and fall BWO hatches; overcast or drizzly days; gentle riffles, seams, and glassy tailouts
-
Why it works: Low-riding parachute footprint matches real BWOs; the slim foam wing/post boosts flotation and visibility without bulk
-
Pack size: 3 flies
-
Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
-
Ready to fish: Sparse, durable tie with consistent proportions and a high-vis post for precise mends and takes
How to fish it
Run a 9–12 ft leader with 5X–6X and make reach or slack-line casts to feed the drift along soft seams and rise rings. Keep drifts long and drag-free; add tiny micro-twitches if fish inspect but won’t commit. If refusals start, drop one size or switch to a BWO emerger before the peak, then a rusty spinner near dusk.
Care
Rinse after use and air-dry before boxing. Dress the post and hackle lightly with gel/paste; revive after a dunk or fish with a powder/shake desiccant, keeping the abdomen mostly untreated for a natural ride.
