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
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.
