B.W.O. Duck's Dun

"Duck's Dun" is actually a specific fly pattern used in fly fishing, named after the mayfly insect that it is designed to imitate. The mayfly in question is commonly known as the Blue Winged Olive, and it is an important insect for fly fishers to know about because it can hatch in large numbers and provide a significant food source for trout and other fish.

The "dun" stage of a mayfly's life cycle is the period when it emerges from the water and flies to nearby vegetation to molt into its final form. During this stage, the mayfly is particularly vulnerable to predation and is often sought after by hungry fish, making it an attractive target for fly fishers.

The Duck's Dun fly is designed to mimic the appearance of a Blue Winged Olive mayfly during the dun stage of its life cycle. It is typically tied with a combination of grey and olive-coloured materials to simulate the mayfly's body and wings. When presented to fish in a natural manner, the Duck's Dun fly can be an effective way to catch trout and other species that feed on mayflies.
