In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the Graveyard Baetis! "If you saw the Graveyard Midge, you may have seen this one coming. The Graveyard Baetis is a similar build but meant to imitate small mayflies, specifically Blue Wing Olive’s. In shoulder seasons when trout are keying in on a BWO hatch this fly may be just what you need. It is small and simple but fits the bill just right. It is a perfect dropper fly that can hang under smaller surface flies. This pattern was developed on the Bighorn River in Montana but don’t let that stop you from using it on your drainage. Adjust the size and color and anywhere you have small mayflies this pattern will bring success."
