Large Dark Olive Paradun

The Large Dark Olive Comparadun is a realistic dry fly designed to imitate the adult Large Dark Olive mayfly. This version features a slim olive dubbed body, a white synthetic wing post for visibility, and an olive hackle tied around the post for excellent flotation. Its natural profile and high-riding design make it an effective pattern for targeting trout during Large Dark Olive hatches.
