Little Olive Dead

[NJTroutbum]

The Little Olive Dead was originally tied to match those mid-winter, early spring hatches that get weathered out. When the Blue-Winged Olive hatch around you is struggling to take shape, and the dead and crippled begin to pile up in the eddy...This is your fly. Once I see fish begin to appear to be "midging" on the edges when there are BWO's in the air, I know they are feeding on the casualties.

Interesting Ralph, In the 70's on a spring day fishing Slate Run I had an experience. I put my rod down, got on my hands and knees, and watched blue quills drifting in an eddy. I tied on a small greased nymph and took a lot of fish. My first lesson fishing a floating nymph.
