Welcome to the Fly Days of August. Each day this month, I’ll post a fly pattern. Many will be my patterns, but some will be culled from the internets. All will catch fish.
The Blue Wing Olive Soft Hackle Emerger will kick things off. I had a banner day on Henry’s Fork last fall with this pattern, as the photo attests. (this fly remnant was right where I left it last October, right on the cabin window sill).

Looks like a nice tie; any shots of a virgin fly?

Ask, and ye shall receive.
Updated the post with a “before” shot. (OK, quickly tied another, but with green bead: clear beads are MIA at the moment)
