Collection: Blue Winged Olive

The Blue Winged Olive (scientifically known as Baetis or Ephemerella) is a type of mayfly species found in both freshwater rivers and streams. These mayflies are popular among fly fishers because they are one of the most important mayfly hatches in many areas, especially in North America and Europe. The name "Blue Winged Olive" comes from the olive-green color of the body and the blue-gray tint of the wings, which are characteristic features of this species.
