2 x Classic FM – OLIVE
By Fulling Mill
🎣 The one that started it all.
Some flies just catch fish.
A few create anglers for life.
For me, this was that fly.
The Classic FM Olive was first handed out on the cover of Trout Fisherman Magazine—a giveaway with no name, just promise. I tied it on, took a chance… and landed my first ever trout on the fly. That single take flipped a switch. I wasn’t just casting anymore—I was hooked for good.
Designed to imitate a damsel nymph, the Classic FM Olive features a brass bead to dive fast and stay in the zone—right where trout feed deep. It moves with balance, looks natural, and still delivers decades later. I've fished it, stocked it, sold it, and watched it catch fish when other patterns get ignored.
Why it still matters:
✔ Proven damsel nymph imitation
✔ Brass bead for depth and subtle attraction
✔ The kind of fly that builds obsession, not just catches
✔ Tried, tested, and trusted by thousands
✔ A legacy pattern for Stillwater anglers everywhere
I’ve spent over 30 years on the water—and 25 running a fishery. Patterns come and go, but this one? It’s part of the story. And if you’re just starting out, it might just be the beginning of yours too.
