- blue-winged olives · baetis duns · small mayfly duns
One of the oldest and most storied dry fly patterns in the history of fly fishing, dating back centuries in British angling tradition. The Blue Dun imitates the slate-winged olive duns that hatch prolifically on freestone streams during spring and fall, and remains a staple searching pattern when small mayflies are on the water.
