The Ressie Dink Olive is an excellent, stillwater indicator fly designed by Peaks Fly Fishing director and head guide David Johnson. Its dark olive body and lighter hackle suggest an emerging midge while providing enough visibility and support for choppy conditions.
A ring at the rear of the fly makes it easy to tie on a dropper. Add a buzzer or small nymph, balance its weight carefully and fish the pair static or with a very slow retrieve. This is the sort of dependable dry that can turn a quiet rise into a memorable take.
