FAQ
What makes the RS2 – Olive effective in tailwater environments?
Its minimalist profile allows it to sit just in the film, blending naturally with the water surface and mimicking the natural emergence of midges and small mayflies, which trout are actively feeding on.
Is the RS2 – Olive suitable for all trout habitats?
It is specifically designed for technical tailwaters where trout are keyed in on midges and small mayflies. It may not be as effective in other water types or during different feeding patterns.
Can the RS2 – Olive be used during non-hatch periods?

Claire Butler –
Fished in a cold tailwater stream and it worked perfectly during a midge hatch. The olive color matched the natural film and the fly stayed almost invisible. Trout took it consistently, even when they were very selective.
Liam Powell –
Used it during a small mayfly hatch and saw several takes. The fly sits just in the film and doesn’t disturb the surface. A solid choice for technical tailwater fishing.
Paul Nash –
Great for targeting trout in slow-moving, clear tailwaters. The olive shade is natural and the fly’s profile is subtle. Took a few fish on a single cast during a midge emergence.
