Description

Paul says Procter’s Pearly Butt concept goes hand in hand with his emerger series. Suggesting a partially emerged insect still attached to its shuck, it’s an obvious trigger for feeding fish.

Field Notes

This emerger pattern is meant to imitate an insect that is partway out of its shuck, making it effective when trout are keying on hatching bugs just below the surface. Fish it on a dead drift or with a slight lift in slow seams, riffles, and tailouts during a hatch.

Pros

  • Realistic emerger profile
  • Barbless hook is fish-friendly
  • Good hatch-matching option

Cons

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