AK's Olive Quill Dun Dry Fly

AK's Olive Quill Dun is one of the most precise and effective Blue-Winged Olive imitations in the fly box — designed by legendary Colorado tier A.K. Best to match the BWO dun with exceptional accuracy. The slim, segmented quill body captures the translucency of a natural mayfly abdomen, while the upright wings and sparse hackle create a low-riding, lifelike profile that sits perfectly in the surface film.

On the Roaring Fork, Colorado River, and Fryingpan, Blue-Winged Olive hatches are some of the most reliable and important of the year — peaking in spring and fall when overcast skies and cool temperatures trigger heavy emergences. Fish AK's Olive Quill Dun drag-free on a fine tippet during these hatches and you'll understand why it's a staple in every serious Colorado angler's box. Available in size #16 — the most productive size for BWO hatches on Roaring Fork Valley waters.
