This Blue Wing Olive works great in early morning when the water is calm. I’ve seen trout take it consistently. The barbless hook makes it easy to retrieve without damaging the fish.

A solid imitation of small floating insects. It floats naturally and stays in place. I use it during midday when fish are more active.
