Field Notes

This is an emerger pattern designed to imitate an insect transitioning from nymph to adult. Fish it delicately in or just under the surface film during a hatch, especially when trout are keying on emerging insects and refusing fully dry flies. Dead-drift it with a drag-free presentation for the best results.

Pros

  • Sits low in the film like a natural emerger
  • CdC provides excellent floatation and realism
  • Good match for selective trout during hatches

Cons

  • Can be subtle and hard for anglers to see
  • Less effective when fish are not feeding on emergers
