Tying Instructions:

• If you want to weight this fly, place wire 1/3 of the shank length to allow you to
  spin your deer hair on the front.

  • Tie in the tail of marabou, then a length of gold braid and wrap forward to cover
    wire, leaving room for collar and wing.

    • Tie in another bunch of marabou over body to reach bend of hook.

      • Cut a bunch of deer hair and stack. Tie on shank with tips pointing back about 1/2
        length of overwing and allow hair to spin to form collar.

        • Pack remainder of hair back to begin building head. Tie and spin additional
          bunches to make compact head: Finish with whip finisher.

          • Trim deer hair to form bullet shap head, being careful not to cut long tips that
            form the collar.

          Fish this fly much as you would any other streamer pattern; let it sink to the bottom in
          the current, allowing time for the deer hair to get down. Strip in a zig-zag motion,
          working the rod tip from left to right to portray a minnow-like action. If this doesn't
          produce a take, try 3 or 4 quick strips and then allow the fly to rest in short pauses;
          allowing it to sink again. The olive pattern works outstandlingly well at the Connetquot
          as well as on other streams that support scuds and sculpins.
