Synopsis of Class
Spring is here and so are (or soon will be) the mayflies.  If you are heading out to any trout streams in the next few weeks it is quit likely that you will run into some Blue Wing Olive mayflies.  The Blue Wing Olive (BWO) mayflies are one of the first to come off the water in the spring and one of the first you should be fishing. 

In this class we will be tying flies that will represent the Blue Wing Olive at all stages of its' life that are important to fly fishing.  Once you have determined what the fish are targeting you will then have a fly to present to them.
