Fly's story....

This is a great imitation for an emerging Blue Winged Olive.  I fish it as a dropper on a double nymph rig, on the swing as a traditional soft hackle or with a greased leader to rising fish.  If you want another option, change the dubbing to yellow and you'll have a Sulphur emerger.
