Notes:
(1) I came up with this exact pattern nearly 30-years ago and it remains my favorite BWO nymph! Very effective.
(2) Copper or olive wire can be used for the rib, but gold appears to be more effective.
(3) Various shades can be applied to the body, tail and thorax with an indelible ink,
(4) To get the olive effect on the bead simply apply a very thin coat of head cement and allow to dry. Once completely dry color with indelible ink. Wait a few minutes for the ink to dry and apply a thin overcoat of head cement. Complete several in advance to speed up the tying process.
(5) The wingcase is also colored with indelible ink prior to tying on the shank. The end result is a deep olive green color
