Description: The Blue-winged Olive mayflies have bodies that are a shade of olive, and a dun or blueish colored wing. The blue-winged olive (BWO) is not one species, but a group of them in the genus Baetis, Attenella, and smaller drunella, and are generally smaller mayflies. To match the BWO with an imitation during a hatch, is to get the size right. These tiny mayflies populate the rivers half the year, when most people don’t fish. Hatches can begin in late September and continue until April. A great gift for the fly fisherman.
Description: Damselfly Nymph is a print taken from my original gouache-watercolor painting. The nymph is the longest stage of the Damselfly’s life cycle. They live, eat and grow among the weeds in 4 to 24 feet of water and undergo several molts during their development before maturity. Near shore they climb out of the water on anything they can anchor themselves to and become an adult. While fly fishing,imitate nymphs in their emergence stage by stripping the fly slowly upward, off the bottom. Damselfly nymph color will depend on the habitat in which they live so consider that when selecting a fly pattern. A great gift for the fly fisherman.
Description: Damselfly Adult is a print taken from my original gouache-watercolor painting. Fish adult damselfly floating patterns using a dead drift. And, use patterns that resemble the naturals where you are fishing. It’s always worth carrying a few adult dry fly damsel patterns. A great gift for the fly fisherman.
