Anybody ever hear of a “Pull Over BWO” pattern? I saw one in a catalog for the first time. I think they billed it as a dun/emerger.
lastchance,
Take a look at the last Fly on this page. Is this it? http://www.rockymtnfly.com/fly_tying/bwo_jd_2006.aspx

DShock: Thanks, but that’s not it. I saw it in the Feathercraft Catalog.
Normand: I’m sorry if I’m being a little slow, but I didn’t find a pattern for the BWO Pullover where you directed my search. They do have the pullover listed for sale. I was wondering how to tie it and what pullover means. Thanks. I’m going to keep looking.

look kinda like the ‘hackle stacker’ techique or is it different, anyone know?
It looks just like the hacklestacker or paraloop method to me.
I think you’re right. I looked at the paraloop method and it looks like the pullover method. I really can’t see any advantages to it, but then again, I’ve never fished the pattern. Wouldn’t you say a Klinkhamer or parachute would give the same look? Maybe somebody with some experience fishing them could add their opinion.
The best to all!
The name has probably been used a lot of times. The term “pull over,” in my area anyway, has referred to that style of fly long before Bob Quigley decided to call it a “hackle stacker” – and I can’t remember if Bob or someone else (Ned Long?) coined the term originally. The one on Feathercraft appears to be tied on a TMC2487-style hook, zlon shuck, goose biot body, medium dun hackle, and olive superfine thorax.
For more information, Ian Moutter’s Tying Flies the Paraloop Way has an excellent discussion of these styles of flies. The pullover/paraloop has a very distinctive look in the water and can be much more effective than conventional parachute style flies in the spring creeks or similar conditions. Hard to see, but deadly on more technical waters.
Thanks for teaching an East Coaster something new.
