Fly of the Week: CDC Olive emerger
Hook: DF1 #14-24
Thread: Olive 12/0
Shuck: Brown Z-lon
Body: Superfine Olive, Olive Gray or Olive brown
Wing: CDC medium dun
So this time of the year the Iso's emerge as a different color on the Beaverkill or East branch. I have been doing well with a size #14 Olive emerger, as the Iso's or Slate Drakes as some call it emerge they have a Olive Gray/dun color to it before it darkens, If one is fishing a Iso pattern and they are refusing it, try the Olive emerger it might make the difference! But we are now coming to the end of the season and all size Olives will be the main diet, so tie a bunch in different sizes and colors.
This is the last fly of the week till next year!
