Comparadun-Olive Dry Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Comparadun-Olive Dry Winged Trout Fly is a staple in any angler's fly box, renowned for its simplicity and effectiveness. Developed in the 1960s by Al Caucci and Bob Nastasi, this fly mimics the delicate mayfly, a favourite meal for trout. Its unique design features a sparse, upright deer hair wing, providing excellent buoyancy and a realistic silhouette on the water's surface.
The olive body colour is particularly effective in matching the hatch during mayfly season, making it a go-to choice for fly fishers. Its lack of hackle allows for a more natural drift, enticing even the wariest of trout. Perfect for clear, slow-moving waters, the Comparadun-Olive is a must-have for successful trout fishing..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Comparadun-Olive Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used during mayfly hatches, particularly in slow-moving waters. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a delicate cast upstream, allowing it to drift naturally with the current. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly floats without drag, mimicking a natural insect.
Employ a light tippet to enhance presentation and avoid spooking fish. If the fly begins to sink, apply floatant to restore buoyancy. For added realism, occasionally twitch the fly gently to imitate a struggling insect, enticing trout to strike.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Comparadun-Olive Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months, aligning with the key mayfly hatch periods. In spring, from April to June, and in autumn, from September to October, the fly mimics the natural emergence of olives, making it irresistible to trout. Ideal conditions include overcast days with mild temperatures, as these promote active hatches. Use this fly in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are likely to rise. Its design allows for a delicate presentation, perfect for targeting selective fish during these peak seasons.

How does the Turrall Comparadun-Olive Dry Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Comparadun-Olive Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the dun stage of a mayfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. As mayflies transition from nymphs to adults, they emerge on the water's surface, shedding their exoskeletons to become duns. This stage is particularly vulnerable, making it an easy target for trout. The Comparadun's upright wings and slender body mimic the natural appearance and behaviour of the emerging mayfly, enticing trout to strike. Its effectiveness lies in its ability to float delicately on the water, replicating the natural drift of a mayfly dun, which is irresistible to feeding fish.
