About the Stealth Blue Winged Olive Trout Fly

The Stealth Blue Winged Olive has all the tried-and-true dressing of the original tying yet with the hook reversed so the fly sits 'on' the water's film.

Expert Tip:

Varivas hooks are the latest innovation when it comes to tying fresh water flies. They are all made to the highest specification with points that make them the ultimate when it comes to sharpness. This range of hooks has recently been redesigned to focus on what makes VARIVAS the best when it comes to function and reliability. The fine dry fly series feature micro-barb and long-tapered points to give them superior setting properties.

Country of origin for this trout fly: England

Dressings

• Hooks :1W1S-2000 Varivas 14, 16, 18
• Thread : Hot Orange
• Tail : Blue dun hackle fibres
• Body : BWO superfine or similar fine dubbing
• Hackle : Blue Dun
• Wing : C de C - single feather tied as a bunch

Our Stealth series have the tails tied just onto the bend so they point slightly upwards when the fly is complete. All wings are tied bunch wing style in front of the hackle with a slight rake towards the bend. The hackles on the duns are clipped out fully underneath so that the fly adopts the correct attitude on the water surface.
