 The Olga was invented by J.L. Dickie and the dressing given in his book "Forty years of trout and salmon fishing" published in 1921 (worth getting for his descriptions of fishing on the Dee at Balmoral, even if he has a slightly arrogant style). He named the fly after his daughter. 

The Olga is also mentioned as a Dee fly in “Pike fishing with some hints on Salmon fishing” by T.S Gray published 1923.
