Little bwo dries for the 20 min hatch on the D. Plus some indicator flies so I know where to look.

Unpopular opinion:

That 20 minute (sometimes an hour!) winter BWO hatch is the best fishing on the D—no matter the season.

Oh, I agree, which is why I frustrate myself trying to tie these. I think I’m going to pre-tie some on a leader spool so I’m not trying to tie them on with cold hands in low light

Cowboy up and tie them tiny flies with two wraps and a half hitch.

What's the ribbing on the second fly?

Just a nice little winter steelhead stripper (or swinger if you roll that way)...I'm really diggin' this rabbit strip color.

It’s Uni-Flexx 1680 DEN orange, a rubber leg like material on a spool.

Thanks! I thought the orange was the body and there was some kind of glittering green rib!

I don’t know if this pattern has a name, but my mind goes straight to “The Troublemaker”
