John Barr's BWO Vis-A-Dun

John Barr never seems to disappoint with his super-effective patterns.  The Vis-A-Dun most definitely falls under that.  This pattern allows you to tie extremely realistic BWOs that are easy and quick to tie.  This is a classic Guide Pattern with how fast, durable, and effective it is. 

The poly yarn split wing is simple to tie, realistic, and easy to look at.  This pattern is easy to see and rides extremely high on the water.  It is a great way to tie these smaller-size flies without building up extra bulk which makes for wrapping good hackle and bulky flies.  Don't miss out on fish because you don't have this pattern in your box.
