Uncle Tom Olive

A previous FOM was the Uncle Tom Sulfur. This is the second fly that Tom showed us, a fly that he said was the only fly he used when the BWO’s were hatching. It is tied in a similar manner as the sulfur pattern he showed us with the tail and hackle are slightly larger the usual. The body of the fly was tied with Fly-rite #13 Grannom Green dubbing. This dubbing is no longer available because Fly-rite’s new #13 is claret dubbing. Maybe you have a fly tying
friend who has some grannom green dubbing and is willing to share some.
