A proven early-season dry fly, the Large Dark Olive Dun Barbless is designed to match one of the most consistent UK hatches. Sitting low in the surface film with a natural olive profile, it’s ideal when trout are feeding steadily but refusing larger or more obvious patterns.
Perfect for river fly fishing in April and early spring, this pattern excels on both chalkstreams and freestone rivers. Fish it on a fine tippet with a drag-free drift to imitate emerging olives with precision.
Tied on a strong barbless hook for secure hook-ups and easy catch and release.
A must-have olive pattern for early-season trout fishing.
