Description
The Nosepicker BWO Nymph, designed by Kevin Price, is a standout pattern for imitating the Blue Wing Olive (BWO) nymph, a key food source for trout, particularly in colder months. This fly is specifically crafted to match the delicate characteristics of a BWO nymph in both size and color, utilizing a blend of natural and synthetic materials for durability and lifelike movement. The design incorporates a subtle, realistic profile with a slight curve to the body, allowing it to sink naturally and blend into the nymph’s natural position in the water column.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
Suspended Presentation: During an active BWO hatch, fish the Nosepicker as part of a two-fly rig, suspended beneath a visible dry fly like a Parachute BWO. The nymph will hover just below the surface, mimicking the natural emergence of BWOs as they make their way to the surface to hatch.
