Description

Lewis Mayfly Emerger Sharing much of its design Phil'sosophy with Gareth’s original March Brown Emerger, the Mayfly Emerger delivers a commanding footprint when trout and grayling are locked onto Ephemera danica. As Gareth says: “Why present a chicken nugget when you can offer a Big Mac?” Tied on Fulling Mill’s Tactical Big Bug hook, this pattern handles the explosive takes typical of Danica hatches and is strong enough for the hefty trout that have been gorging on mayflies for weeks. A must-have pattern for the prime mayfly season.

Field Notes

Use this emerger pattern during mayfly hatches when trout or grayling are feeding just under the surface or in the film. It is best fished on a dead drift with a delicate presentation to imitate an emerging insect.

Pros

  • Excellent mayfly imitation during hatches
  • Strong hook for larger trout
  • Natural emerger profile

Cons

  • Highly hatch-specific
  • Requires good presentation and drift control
