Blue-Winged Olive with Zelon/Deer Hair Wing

[Greg H]

Byron,
Both of the flies in your recent posts are well tied, and the Z-lon adds a halo of light to the wings - very nice. However, in southern Ontario BWOs are just that - blue/grey wings with olive (like in a martini) bodies. It is easy enough to change the colour of your fly of course, just by changing the colour of materials. I might fish your flies for a sulpher hatch, or as a general dry fly, but I do wonder why it is the colour it is if you are intending to imitate BWOs.
