Blue Upright Dry Fly

Fishing Tips

Presentation: The Blue Upright excels when presented as a dry fly during Blue-Winged Olive hatches. Its realistic appearance and delicate landing can entice even the most discerning trout. Technique: Employ a dead-drift presentation on slow-moving sections of rivers and streams to mimic the natural drift of emerging duns. A fine tippet and careful casting are essential to prevent spooking wary fish. Seasonality: Best used during late spring to early autumn, aligning with the lifecycle of the Blue-Winged Olive mayflies. Origin: The Blue Upright is an excellent variant of R.S. Austin's original pattern, which has been a reliable choice for anglers seeking to match the hatch of Blue-Winged Olive mayflies
