A Fish Fuel original for the most important hatch of the year.
Designed by Dana Lattery, the "CDC Green Army Man" is a tactical upgrade to standard Blue Winged Olive (BWO) nymphs. Built on a jig hook with a tungsten bead, it’s designed to get down fast and stay in the strike zone. The key feature is the combination of a drab olive body with a soft CDC collar, which perfectly mimics the swimming action and trapped air bubbles of an emerging baetis nymph.
Why we love it:
The "Tactical" Color: The matte olive bead and body provide a stealthy, natural profile that fools pressure-wary fish in clear water.
The CDC Movement: The soft CDC collar creates lifelike movement and traps air, mimicking the "shuck" of an insect preparing to hatch.
The Hot Spot: A subtle flash dubbing collar behind the bead offers just enough trigger to catch a trout's eye without spooking them.
Quantity: Sold in packs of 12.
Guide Tip: This is a killer fly for "technical" tailwaters and spring creeks. When the fish are ignoring your standard shiny nymphs, switch to this muted, realistic pattern. Fish it on a Euro rig or under a small indicator during cloudy, overcast days when BWO activity is highest. If you're brave, you'll fish it naked into the middle of a blanket hatch...
