FAQs
What is the best time of day to use the CDC Olive Emerger?
Early mornings and evenings, or during overcast days, are often ideal times, as insects tend to hatch during these periods. However, fish may feed on emergences throughout the day.
What type of water is this fly best suited for?
This fly is effective in various waters, including rivers, streams, and lakes, where insects are hatching.
How do I choose the correct tippet size?
Select a tippet size that is appropriate for the size of the fish you are targeting and the conditions of the water. Finer tippets may provide a more natural presentation.
How should I store my flies?
Store your flies in a fly box to protect them from damage and to keep them organized.
How can I improve my casting accuracy?
Practice your casting technique regularly, and focus on delivering the fly gently to the target area.
What should I do if my fly gets tangled in the line?
Carefully untangle the fly, and inspect the fly and leader for damage. Replace the fly or leader if necessary.
Can I use this fly in saltwater?
While primarily designed for freshwater, it can be effective in saltwater environments where similar insects are present.
Troubleshooting
Fly not attracting fish.
Check the hatch and ensure the fly matches the size and color of the insects present. Adjust your presentation and try different retrieves.
Fly is getting waterlogged and sinking.
Use a floatant to keep the fly floating on the surface.

Use a brightly colored sighter or a pair of polarized sunglasses to help see the fly on the water.
