CDC BWO Parachute

Hook: Tmc 100 or Mustad 94831 #14-18
Tie in order
Tail: Blue dun fibres or Fibettes
Post/wing: 2 or 3 puffs natural dun CDC
Abdomen: BWO olive superfine Dubbing, Keep body thin
Hackle: Dark Dun, alt, mix in a few Wraps of Cree for a buggy look.
About 5 wraps is enough, but you can add more for fast water.

This fly is really deadly on a hatch, and is very durable. After catching a fish just dry the fly fluffy and it will float again. It has a great silohette. Change the colors for PMD or any other mayfly.
Parachutes are your best option in most situations.
