Olive Shuttlecock

The Olive Shuttlecock is a versatile and highly effective dry fly pattern, designed to imitate small emerging insects or adult midges at the surface. Its olive body and delicate hackle provide a natural silhouette, allowing it to float lightly and attract attention from trout without spooking them.

The shuttlecock-style wings help the fly sit upright on the water, giving a lifelike appearance and ensuring excellent visibility to the angler. This pattern works particularly well when fish are feeding selectively on emerging insects, but can also provoke opportunistic takes in faster-moving or shallower water.

Olive Shuttlecock is a reliable choice for small waters and stocked venues, performing consistently throughout the season when trout are tuned into subtle natural presentations.

This fly is part of the RJW Essential range, tied with high quality materials and budget friendly.
