Blue Winged Olive (BWO)
The Blue Winged Olive fly imitates one of the most varied and common insects in American waters. The Baetis is a genus of mayflies of the family Baetidae, known as the Blue-winged olive to anglers.
The BWO is a well-known and important insect in the world of fly fishing. It’s a common name for a group of mayflies belonging to the genus “Baetis” and related genera.
These insects are found in many freshwater habitats, particularly in rivers and streams, and are considered a staple in the diet of trout and other fish.
BWO flies are popular among fly anglers because they hatch in various sizes and colors throughout the year, making them a reliable food source for fish.
The name of the BWO comes from the appearance of the adult mayflies, which typically have a bluish or olive-colored body and wings.
This dry fly pattern is a simple must-have in the box in all sizes since your chances of encountering this bug are almost certain if you fish for trout frequently.
Sizes: 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24.

Nice
Excellent company to work with. My order arrived within a few days, great quality, each fly selection was packed and label by size and fly type. I have order from others that just send flies all together in one pack, it is hard to figure out what is what especially if you are not an expert in identifying fly patterns. Great selection and description on fly patterns on site. Thank you.
A perfect match!
Didn’t catch anything on this, but was happy with it. First time fly fishing! The packaging from this business is fantastic. All supplies are in their own container and identified. Would buy from here again and again!
