Blue-Winged Olive LTD

[NJTroutbum]

The Blue-Winged Olive version of the LTD is by far my best producing BWO pattern, and has been for many years. And it's this time of year, when you are lucky enough to be on the water when those little olive bugs come off that it truly shines.

Nice tie NJ. I always liked to fish the BWO hatch on top.

Very timely video. An excellent tying video and an exceptional learning video. Thank you.

That fly works...trust me. Thanks to Ralph I used it last year for some of the hatches and it works for other mayfly imitations as well tied in other variations and sizes.
