Fulling Mill Roza's Hackled Olive - Barbless Jig

A world champion's olive, with hackle to make it breathe

Lubos Roza won a world championship at twenty, the youngest ever to do it, and his jig nymphs are built the way a competition angler builds things: proportioned, weighted properly, and tied on sticky barbless hooks. This one is the natural end of his range. Olive covers most of what trout eat sub-surface, and the soft hackle gives it movement a plain quill body cannot, which matters on a slow drift or a lift at the end of it. A sound first choice on the dropper.
