What It Imitates: Small olive-colored mayflies — especially Blue Winged Olives (BWOs), which hatch in spring, fall, and on cloudy days year-round.
Type: Dry Fly
Pros (Why You’ll Love It):
- Easy to see on the water thanks to the white post
- Subtle olive body and upright post perfectly match natural BWOs
- Floats well even in rough water
- Fish eat it even when they’re picky.
Best Ways to Fish It: Fish it solo on a 9 ft tapered leader for delicate, drag-free drifts, or run it as the top fly in a dry-dropper rig with a small nymph below.
Where & When to Use: Perfect for riffles, seams, and gentle pools from spring through fall — basically anytime you see fish rising or mayflies on the water.
Extra Tip(s): Use powdered floatant to keep it riding high, but don’t overdo it — BWOs often sit low in the film, and trout expect that. For extra effectiveness, pair it with a trailing emerger.
What’s in the Pack: 3x Parachute BWOs tied on premium hooks.
