The Blue Winged Olive was once our most common upwinged species here in the West Country, and it's imago the Sherry Spinner provided me with many long summer evening rises, with the surface of the river covered with the typical rings of fish just gently kising the surface. Alas, the BWO has surfered a drastic decline ( along with many other invertebrates} over the past 30 years. It is believed that its eggs are particularly susceptible to the phosphate and sediments, which now plague our rivers. In this video, I take a bit of a trip down memory lane and catch a few fish on the poly wing sherry spinner pattern that I fished as a boy all those years ago.
