FLY TYING ~ THE WHITE BEAD OLIVE (WBO) the best clear water fly for euro Nymphing trout fishing

Trust me in clear water this nymph is the best and most effective fly you will ever use.

Thanks for posting this pattern, can't wait to tie some up and give them a swim on the R Swale

Thanks mate 👍🏻

I tie a white beaded olive nymph for summer use as well . The body I use is a fine olive nymph rib wound over yellow tying silk . They do work well in clear water .

I was about to message you about the microfibres for the tail having watched the original WBO tying vid as I thought the fibres looked like paint brush fibres. Good clear tying instructions & I’ve tied up three tonight use the materials I have so slightly different body material; hare fur. Anyway, looking forward to trying them out if todays rain hasn’t coloured the river up? Thanks for sharing

[@nymphingnewt7639]

That body dubbing will still do the job mate, good luck for today and let me know how you get on with them 👍🏻

@@nymphingnewt7639 Finally got out the other evening to try the WBO. Went to a new section of a river that is a favorite of mine albeit I’ve not fished it for many years. After some exploration it was obvious most of it was unfishable from a fly fishing point of view. I found one short section between two deep pools which i fished for a bit under an hour. WBO on the point & a olive nymph on the dropper; it was very clear & quite shallow. Anyway it resulted in a brownie of about 12”; which is a decent fish for this river & a Grayling of about 9/10’. The Nymphmaniac paired with the OPST Lazar was good but the WBO did the business. Many thanks again for sharing & I’ll tying a good selection of these flies for future use.
