In this fly tying tutorial Cheech ties the Flavinella Comparadun!
I love fishing, the blue winged olive hatch every spring on many of the rivers near my home. They usually come out very strong and the fish key on them like crazy, which makes it a lethal and very entertaining combination!
My only beef with blue winged olives is that they hatch during nasty weather during the colder parts of the year and they’re really small. Now imagine that same hatch came back in the summertime and all of a sudden the flies are size 14! Yes! I know! It sounds amazing because it really is. If you are going to frequent a river that has a Flavinella hatch, it’s best to come prepared with a variety of dry Fly types, but the good old comparadun is about as good as it gets if your targeting adult mayflies.
Also, for you fact checkers, I do know that there is a difference between blue winged olives and flavs.
