Biot Soft Hackle™ - BWO

Biot Soft Hackle™ BWO

The Biot Soft Hackle™ BWO is a delicate and highly effective Blue Wing Olive emerger pattern designed to imitate one of the most important aquatic insects found in trout streams throughout the year. Combining a slim olive biot body with a soft blue hackle collar, this fly creates a realistic silhouette and subtle movement that closely matches emerging Baetis mayflies.

During Blue Wing Olive hatches, trout often focus on insects trapped below or within the surface film rather than fully emerged adults. The Biot Soft Hackle™ BWO excels in these situations, presenting a vulnerable emerging insect that fish find difficult to ignore.

Its natural segmentation, soft hackle movement, and realistic profile make it an outstanding choice for technical waters, selective trout, tailwaters, spring creeks, and any fishery where Blue Wing Olives are present.
