Golden Olive Palmer
- Hook: #14 Mustad R50
- Thread: Light olive silk
- Tail: Pheasant tail barbs
- Hackle: Golden olive hen
I came up with this at the bench the other day. While it's a "rough and ready" fishing fly, I really like the classic looks of this fly and thought it was worth sharing.

I love it! The style looks very "Irish" to me. Beautiful little loch fly.
I would love to see a variation with a claret or red wool body...

beautifully done. Looks like a lot of different naturals. Did you have something in mind? Water conditions?

Lighter caddis primarily. I fish this this style greased in the film or with a "cresting" presentation in moderate currents (i.e. rising and breaking the surface film). The latter technique works well with a bead in heavier water.
