Field Notes

Use this emerger pattern when caddis are hatching and fish are feeding just below the surface film. It is effective on slow presentations, dead-drifted in riffles, seams, and pocket water where trout are keying on emerging insects.

Pros

  • Natural caddis emerger profile
  • Good for matching a hatch
  • Works in a variety of trout waters

Cons

  • Highly hatch-specific
  • Can be less effective when fish are not feeding on emergers
