Blue Winged Olive - Umpqua Fly
Details
A staple hatch for most trout, this historic fly pattern has been fooling trout for longer than most of us have been alive. A stiff, spade hackle tail, tightly dubbed body and pullet-feather wings (good ones are hard to come by) surrounded by a stiff hackle collar assure proper imitation.
Thanks to the light but extremely strong Japanese wire of a Tiemco 100 hook (don’t be fooled by imitations) this fly will present more naturally and endure the battle.
