Blue Winged Olive (BWO) demi-nymph

Tail:	Dark Coq de Leon feather fibers

Note: The demi-style of tying uses a large hook to tie a small fly on the rear portion of the hook only. In this case a size #14 hook with a size #18 or #20 fly. This gives better hooking potential for a very small fly. The theory being that the fish fixates on the fly ignoring the oversized hook.
