This is a traditional fly that has truly stood the test of time and is used by fishermen frequently. Devised by Canon William Greenwell this fly is used by fly fishermen throughout the world. It can represent many different species of olives.
For the more adventurous among you we have provided tying specifications for the Bead Head (BH) Greenwells. Remember at The Essential Fly we sell the Bead Head (BH) Greenwells at incredible prices with a top quality fly and service to back it up. It is certainly worth tying the Bead Head (BH) Greenwells yourself to understand the pleasure of catching a fish with your own tied fly, however at the price we sell flies it is only worth tying one or two Bead Head (BH) Greenwells as your can spend more time fishing instead of tying flies - buy volume online with us.
