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.
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.
