Sylvester Nemes Blue Winged Olive Pattern
Tied this up for a Syl Nemes Memorial Swap on a soft hackle forum.
Hook: Daiichi 1100 size 20
Thread: Olive 12/0
Hackle: Medium Dun Hen
Body: Herl from a Grey Goose Quill Feather. I was out so I used herl from a Blue Eared Pheasant Quill.
Rib: Tag end of tying thread counter wound up the body.
This should fish well as an upstream soft hackle. It's tied on a light wire hook to fish the top 12 inches or so of the water column.
