Back, Bi's and Blue Wing Olives

Blue Wing Bodies falling from the Jaws of life as of late. With this virus poop I'm not sure if i should be tying for run off or worse yet the Caddis of summer. I guess tying for the next few weeks lets me keep a hopeful spin on things as I build an army of BWO hard bodies. Quills, Biots and even thread bodies can be delicate unless you reinforce them with some UV cure like Solarez.

I get a few questions about UV cure epoxies. I have been using Solarez for a couple of years now after messing with a few of the others out on the market. This stuff cures hard and clear unlike some of the others which can get cloudy or crack off. I hit them quick with a "torch" at the bench then they go out side to sit in the sun before I mess with the rest of the fly. Taking the bugs outside is one extra step but it makes a big difference in the long run. Window sills inside wont work unless you open the window.

 I throw some Olive colored tube bodies at them as well but most of the BWO's I deal with are perfectly matched by that stripped quill. 

Crank out a couple of push ups in between sets of Blue Wing bodies so them rowing muscles are ready when this crap passes.

Fishing is ape shit crazy.
