Note: The BWO is a very common fly in Austrian rivers. Whenever you see Emphemerella Ignita flying this nymph is good for a try. The silhouette can be a bit fat because the real insect looks like this. Natural turkey fibres have the right color for the BWO nymph. I use to fish it in dead drift upstream in depths not over 1m. If the water is deeper I use other nymphs.
