Olvies

“Don’t overlook the olives; just don’t overlook the little olvies.” This was the advice of the late Vince Marinaro as we discussed the coming fall trout fishing. Vince was referring to the often thick hatches of beatis mayflies that are found on many rich trout streams in the fall. This little beauty is present in huge numbers on overcast days. Match it with a Beatis Parachute Dry 18 and the Mr. Rapidan Dry Fly 18.
