When it comes to flies color isn't very literal, blue usually refers to a greyish color. Like the blue dun, or the Blue wing olive. A blue fox will be a natural dark color with dark almost slate wings, just like the BWO. The wings appear to be blue when the dun is floating down the river. You need to look at the big picture when it comes to the insects Just like green drakes in most places don't have green bodies but rather a green tint and greenish wings. All the Best Jim

Hi Jim how is this fly different to the gold ribbed hares ear dry fly?

With the Blue Fox I use hackle for the tail vs. deer hair, and hackle tips for wing vs. deer hair.
