Wet fly
Olive Bumble
Olive palmered loch fly
Trout · Sea troutSurface
A palmered olive bumble — darker and less showy than the Golden Olive Bumble, but equally reliable when fish prefer muted colours.
Fish this when
Late spring through summer on lochs and loughs. Fish it on the bob dropper during olive and sedge hatches, dibbled in a moderate wave.
Why it works
Olive is one of the foundational colours in loch fishing — reads as emerging sedge pupa, small olive, or general subsurface food.
