    Default CDC and Zelon Wing on Size 16 Blue Winged Olive

    Hi,

    Trying a different combination on this little blue Wing Olive. Think it will work this Spring??
    Thanks,
    Byron



    The one above is a size 16. This one is a size 14 and I propped the tails up a bit.

    It will work!!! I mix zelon or other similar synthetics in my BWO and midges all the time. Greatly increase durability and "repuffability". Still use Frogs Fanny but less often.

    Nice Fly.

    Perfect! I like it a lot. CDC is great stuff. Have you tried it with para post( dry) or para loop(Emerger)? As that is how I do mine.

    Nice tie, Bryon! Is that tied in a single upright post?

    Actually, I tie the zelon in as divided wings and the CDC upright behind them. The zelon is a scaled back piece.
