Low Water Baetis Olive
During those low flows, slow water, flat water…or whatever water type situations, this pattern turns heads. An angler has the option to clip the hackle to reduce the profile for those situations when fish are more selective, but full hackle allows you to fish more turbulent water. I suggest keeping your patterns fully hackled and modifying them when necessary. An awesome pattern to target fish during a Blue Wing Olive hatch.

This fly worked great during a slow flow on the creek. The full hackle caught fish that were otherwise not biting. I kept it fully hackled and it stayed natural in the water.
Liam McLean –
Fished it during a Blue Wing Olive hatch and saw several strikes. The profile is solid and it floats well. I clipped the hackle slightly for a flatter look in still water.
Jasmine Gill –
Excellent match for the hatch. Fish were active and this pattern stayed on the surface without sinking too quickly. Highly recommended for low water conditions.
