Re: 3 Olives
Izaak,
Those are wonderful ties and I like your posts. Not to take away from your post but I am attaching a BWO that I use on a local tailwater stream. It is tied on a #28 daiichi hook. Sorry but I used my phone for the picture and the quality isn't as good as your picture. Otto

Well, I finally got to go out and do some fishing. Caught a few brookies on a pheasant tail soft hackled fly, the weather was nice and the leaves were amazing. Need to get tying and ready for the swap.
