Fly Tying // Blue Wing Olive Salt & Pepper BWO Dry Fly Pattern

In this video I show you how to tie The BWO Salt & Pepper Blue Wing Olive dry fly pattern. I use this fly in flatter/calmer water when fish don't want something overly dressed or bulky. You can tie it in a bunch of colors to imitate what's hatching on your own home waters. Give it a try sometime and let me know how it works for you!

I've used EP Fibers in a color called 'quicksilver' that's a blend of light dun and black that works well too.

[@FlyingTies]

Ahh that sounds nice

[@250savage]

This fly is simplicity. Genius. Thank you for sharing!

[@JamesFalstad_]

Love it, I found for mixing the fibers you can kinda twist the colors together and run a comb through it. Works really well

[@FlyingTies]

That's a great idea

[@mendtheline6495]

one of the easier BWO variations. Good tie.

[@FlyingTies]

Thanks :)

[@robertperman8967]

Nice ty!!! Tight lines🐛🐜🕷️!!!!

[@FlyingTies]

Let me know how it works for y oh

[@timthompsondp]

Sick and simple. Gonna tie these for Baetis, PMD and Tricos.

[@FlyingTies]

Thanks!

[@bobhammond8067]

That's one slick fly!!!

[@FlyingTies]

thanks for watching :)

[@Redbandia_outdoors]

Just watched a couple videos. Nice work. I have fished those run a few times this season. Great spot. Pretty quiet this time of year. See you out there. 👍

[@FlyingTies]

Nice! Thanks for watching 👍🏻

[@nicholasbehan5373]

That’s a nice tying of a fly I love exelent
Il be tying some
Thank you 🙏 👌

[@NickWetzel]

Well produced video, especially for a smaller channel. I subbed. Will be adding this one to my box 👍🏻

[@FlyingTies]

Thanks Nick!

[@stephencifka4629]

REALLY like this pattern. Quick tie with great profile. I don't have any EP fibers. Will Steve Farrar Blend work? Looks fairly similar. Also, do you have a floatant you like? Thanks!

[@adch01]

Looks super fishy; super tight skills; very nice! Gonna try this one...thx for sharing it

[@FlyingTies]

Hope it produces for you!

[@seanp4038]

Nice easy tie! What kind of float ant to you prefer for this fly

[@FlyingTies]

Gink or Umpqua Bug Butter both work well on this pattern

[@mikehulsey4813]

@@FlyingTies a follow up question to this for me would be, when you do fish with this thread body BWO, do You personally just add your floatant to the dubbing and wing and allow the abdomen and tail to sit lower in the surface film due to the material you selected for the tail, or do you just gink the entire fly and just go to work? Obviously it may be situationally different for you, but was curious what your go to or preference is when first attaching to your tippet?

[@philipnaro3040]

Thanks for sharing. Can you substitute Widows Web for the EP fiber wing? Thanks once again.

[@FlyingTies]

yeah, give it a try. I'm sure it would work fine

[@devonbustard1623]

So these are just regular ep fibres and not the trigger point?

[@FlyingTies]

Yup, just regular ep fibers. Thanks for watching!

[@davidveilleux4688]

How well does it float

[@FlyingTies]

It floats really well as a single dry, but it won’t hold up a dropper

[@devonbustard1623]

I think you used the wrong fly description haha

[@FlyingTies]

Ha, you are right. Just fixed it :) Thanks for watching!

[@DavidStanleymusic]

quick ties dont stay on top

[@FlyingTies]

You sure about that 😂
