Must Have BWO Dry Flies For Spring in Montana
Date: 04/01/2021
As I slowly chewed through the layers of my black forest ham, pepper jack cheese, and super greens, yuppie 21 seed organic bread, mayo slathered sandwich some small blue and olive helicopters floated past my face. My ass was warm from the dusty tailgate of the second-hand F-150 purchased on a whim. Dippers zipping up and down the low and clear Gallatin River didn't seem to acknowledge my presence. The helicopters, flying adult BWO's, represent the first true dry fly fishing opportunity of the season. Any true dry fly angler will feel a slight tingle at this sight. These are the must have blue winged olive (BWO) dry fly patterns for spring fishing in Southwest Montana.
