Fly Tying Tutorial: Blue Winged Olive Soft Hackle by Fly Fish Food 

Looks great. Thanks for posting this video.... Thanks Alf

I have started putting starling on everything lately - especially my BWO wets. We get those buggers (the green curse) all year round here in NC and VA. Came home from a local tailwater today and realized it was time to bulk up the BWO box with the passing of the Summer Sulphers. I think I'll start with 6 of these.

Nice job 👍

I would tie it reverse to your method…wind the pheasant fibre body away from you in the normal position so when the thread secures it the tension is in the same direction, resulting in little risk the body unwinds a bit and is less tight or slips and unwinds forcing you to start over! Then rib the body in the counter wise direction! The effect is the same! The trout won’t care! Been tying for 54 years!

very clean pattern ! If you were targeting a PMD hatch, would you still use the Starling or a lighter hackle? Thanks very much

do ya'll sell the stonfo hackle plier

What kind of hackle pliers are those? I have some umpqua ones and I really don't like em

Uses a size 16 starling feather. must be a 16 hook.

Why no tail or shuck ?

Adding a recipe would be really helpful.

Hook size?
