from the Turrall Dry Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Dark Olive Dun Dry Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers targeting trout in UK rivers. This fly mimics the natural emergence of the Baetis nymph, a staple in a trout's diet. Its origins trace back to the early 20th century, crafted by skilled fly-tiers to replicate the delicate features of the olive dun mayfly.
Key features include a slender olive body, upright wings, and a hackle that ensures buoyancy, making it effective in calm and flowing waters. Its design allows for a realistic presentation, enticing even the most cautious trout. Perfect for spring and autumn fishing, this fly is a must-have in any angler's collection..

Dark Olive Dun Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Dark Olive Dun Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used during a hatch of dark olive duns, typically in spring and autumn. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream with a delicate cast, allowing it to drift naturally on the water's surface. Use a light tippet to enhance presentation and avoid spooking the fish. Employ a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly moves at the same pace as the current. If no takes occur, try a subtle twitch to mimic a struggling insect. Position yourself downstream of the target area to maintain a stealthy approach and improve line control.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Winged Trout Fly

most effective?

The Dark Olive Dun Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the hatching of the Baetis species, commonly known as the Large Dark Olive, which is prevalent in many UK rivers and streams.
Ideal conditions for using this fly include overcast days with mild temperatures, as these conditions often trigger hatches. The fly is particularly effective in slow-moving waters where trout are likely to rise to the surface to feed on emerging duns.

How does the Turrall Dark Olive Dun Dry Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Dark Olive Dun Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the subimago stage of the Baetis Rhodani, commonly known as the Large Dark Olive mayfly. This stage occurs when the nymph emerges from the water and transforms into a dun, resting on the surface to dry its wings before becoming a fully mature adult. Trout are particularly attracted to this stage as the duns are vulnerable and abundant, making them an easy target. The fly's design, with its delicate wings and olive body, effectively replicates the appearance and behaviour of the natural insect, enticing trout to strike.
