BWO Emerger
When you first start to see hatching Blue Winged Olives, switch to a BWO Emerger. When a hatch begins, fish key onto the emergers before they do the adults. Cast an emerger upstream and allow it to swing downstream, slowly working the fly to the surface.

Body: Olive rabbit dubbing.
Ribbing: Copper wire
Tail: 3 split pheasant tail fibers
Shellback: Pheasant tail fibers

Im loving the new blog Tyler. A great addition to the THFF site. FYI I poached a fly for a 12-1-10 post. Thanks
Tyler, I'm new to your sites, but already decided to add THFF to my "outdoors" blogroll. Excellent stuff, sir.
I've enjoyed much success tying and fishing some of Dave Hise's flies, learnt from his tying videos at the Casters website. So, I'm wondering, will you be doing any tying demos on video? I want to learn to tie your GVR Stonefly...Or, have I not looked hard enough in the archives for it?

Thanks guys! Appreciate the kind words and feedback!
Jeff- I made one a while back, though it's not the best of quality and I didn't commentate. Here's the link... http://vimeo.com/12601597
I may put a video together w/ commentating. Just threw that one together in a short amount of time!
