HOW TO TIE BIVISIBLE DRY FLIES
Tying Bivisible Type Dry Flies
Bivisible dry flies are from the legacy of Edward Hewitt and are as effective today as they have ever been. They are easy to tie in a variety of colors, easy to see under difficult light conditions, and incite splashy rises from aggressive trout when fished dead drift or skated. Use any color of good quality dry fly hackle you would like, but don't forget the three wraps of white hackle at the front - that is for the angler's visibility!
