Dezod 0 Report post Posted May 21, 2009 I typically just fish a small pheasant tail nymph, flashback is my typical choice, in 18-24 for my BWOs C Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
utyer 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 Also my choice for BWO nymph. Pheasant tail, or Turkey tail. No need to complicate things. I tie a turkey tail emerger with a bit of lighter olive dubbing in the thorax area to fish just under the surface. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidR 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 My current fav is a soft hackled pheasant tail - seems to be outfishing a bh or standard during the spring at least. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mouse6196 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2009 BWO is is the hatch on my favorite river right now. I tie this one in size 18-24. The only change from teh picture below that I do, is to use a longer fibit tail... The other day I was out and it was deadly on the Browns. I also take this pattern and tie a small CDC loop on the top for an emerger pattern. http://www.danica.com/flytier/hweilenmann/bwo_nymph.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
