Fhe BWO or "Baetis" hatch is nothing less than a staple for fishing around here in the western US every spring and fall, and most fly shops have bins and bins of these flies Oftentimes these bin flies are tied too bulky or not buoyant enough, but this style of fly slims down the body of the fly and adds a very buoyant wing of CDC. Change up the colors and sizes to match your local hatch, and keep some CDC floatant at hand for some of the best dry fly fishing you can experience! Worst case scenario, just buy some HERE!
