In nature the Blue Winged Olive (BWO) or Ephemerella ignita) is a widely distributed fly found on wild streams and more sedate chalk streams. It is easily recogniseable by its three tails (other olives have only two tails). This is an extremely important flyt pattern. Various species of mayfly throughout the world have the name Blue-Winged Olive applied to them. The Blue Winged Olives range in size from medium to small but all have the same olive coloured body and thorax and smoky wings.

The Blue Winged Olive can be used to catch Cutthroat

The Blue Winged Olive can be used to catch Rainbow Trout

As the name indicates dry flies which include Blue Winged Olive are designed to float on the surface of the water. Trout dry flies types which include Blue Winged Olive imitate a wide variery of flies and insects which inhabit the surface of the water. There is nothing like using dry flies and watching trout and grayling rise to the surface. To purists dry fly fishing is the true art-form of fly fishing, indeed some rivers only permit dry fly fishing. There are some dry flies (e.g. the Popper, Muddlers) which are designed to attract fish by the action of creating a surface disturbance. The flies are made from very bouyant materials (e.g, cork, ethafoam or deer hair, the latter having a generous application of floatant). A Muddler retrieved upwind of a rise can often result in a bulge in the water as the fish follows the fly.

Dry Fly Fishing Techniques With The Blue Winged Olive

A dry fly like Blue Winged Olive has flotant (Gink is the most popular) warmed in your hand and gently rubbed into the hackles to help Blue Winged Olive float and they are usually cast singly on a trout tapered leader. A floating line is used, but with the tapered leader de-greased so that it does not glint and flash light spooking the trout
