Overview

The Umpqua Magic Fly Tungsten in BWO (Blue-Winged Olive) is a compact, beadhead pattern crafted for targeting trout during one of the most prolific and dependable mayfly hatches. With its subtle profile and tungsten bead, this fly sinks quickly to reach feeding lanes where fish are focused on emerging BWOs. It maintains the delicate proportions of a natural nymph, using sparse dubbing and a slender silhouette to reduce bulk while enhancing realism. This makes it particularly deadly in clear water and pressured systems.

The tungsten bead ensures this pattern punches through surface currents and drops into strike zones fast, ideal for use in Euro nymphing setups or traditional indicator rigs. The neutral BWO coloration matches a wide range of early spring and fall hatches, while the fly’s hook gap and balance provide clean, consistent hook sets. Whether you’re facing picky tailwater fish or finicky freestone feeders, the Magic Fly Tungsten in BWO is a smart, tactical option for getting takes when nothing else works.Read More +
