Olive Usual
This fly is based on the original Usual tied by Francis Betters of New York. The original is a fine fly, but somewhat limited because of it's mono-tone grey/brown color. I tye this in a neater, trimmer style than the original and choose colors for the body and wing that match any number of mayfly hatches. The character remains faithful to the original. Over the past 8 years or so, "Usuals" have become my dryfly of first choice for mayfly hatches.
