The Blue-Winged Olive is the most important mayfly hatch in America — it comes off spring and fall on nearly every trout river, often when nothing else is moving. This is the standard dun pattern.

When to Fish It

Spring and fall, best on cloudy, damp, even snowy afternoons. Fish it dead-drift to risers on super-light tippet. If fish flash but refuse, drop a BWO emerger behind it.
