The Cow Dung is one of fly fishing's oldest patterns, named with the bluntness of its era: it imitates the olive-green dung flies that swarm streamside pastures and end up on the water in numbers. An olive-tan body, ginger hackle, and flat wing match the humble natural.
Unglamorous and unbeatable in farm country—anywhere cattle graze a bank, these flies are on the menu daily and trout eat them without a second look.
Best for:
- Pasture and meadow streams
- Olive terrestrial duty
- Heritage fishing with a working fly
📌 Pro Tip: Fish it tight to grazed banks on breezy afternoons—wind delivers the naturals, and the fish set up under the grass line waiting for them.
