The Blue Winged Olive is a classic dry fly that imitates the small olive mayflies of the genus Baetis. This style of dry fly sits higher in the water, and is perfect for fishing riffles and faster moving water. Learn to tie the Blue Winged Olive Dry fly in this fly tying video from Dakota Angler & Outfitter.

I was a little intimidated by this fly, but you demystified. I'll start maybe with a size 16 and move my way down to a 22. Thanks for this!

Nice tying..

Nice tie, I am sure that bandaid didn't do you any favors when trying to get those hackle fibers away from the eye. You managed to get a great looking fly out of it anyway. True professional. All the best, Sean

What size fly ?

[@Thebazzman]

What size/type dry fly hook do you use?

[@teastation9396]

Depends on the hatch. For example, where I'm at this fly is usually tied with hooks size 14-20. I'd start with a 14, which is fairly standard, and tie a few in each smaller size so you have options. Then, observe your area's etymology or try using each to see what matches/works best.
