NJTB, RW here,
That is exactly the way I tie them but minus the ribbing. Same shade of olive and medium dun hackle. Good looking fly by the way. Just finished tying up a dozen. Where in So. Jersey. I lived there for 55 years.

I like the loop wing versions

Byron,
I like the Loop wing alot as well. Change the abdomen and tail to pheasant tail and that's my LTD. :) I fish it more often than not. But the BWO posted is my favorite straight dry pattern. The LTD is an emerger/dry pattern.

ok first of all .... not judging ... but the first fly is a crude attempt for somebody that has never seen a bwo fly be it tyed in catts style or any other.
njtb nice fly .... great proportions.
I like to tye my loop wings with cdc
NYangler....thanks much. I like the CDC loop as well.
And I like Fibbetts for the tail, thread for an abdomen, super fine dubbing for thorax with a white Post and Dun hackle for a Parachute. Size???? 14 to 24
As stated previously, it was purchased at a chain sporting goods store and is most likely an import from Asia. Part of the reason I posted it was because it did not fit the BWO patterns I had seen here and I was wondering if it even fit the bill as a BWO representative. I am new to tying and looking for ideas. This post has provided me with many. Thanks all. Luke
PS: that was judging.
