Small dry
Olive Comparadun
Hackle-free olive dun
Trout · GraylingSurface
Deer-hair Comparadun for medium olives — a clean flush silhouette with no hackle.
Fish this when
A medium olive hatch on flat, clear water where a conventionally hackled dry's footprint puts fish down.
Why it works
The fanned deer-hair wing and hackle-free body sit flush in the film exactly like a natural dun, without the tell-tale hackle points that give a fake away.
