Description

The Splitsville Emerger checks all the boxes for a killer mayfly emerger. The back half of the fly is segmented and sinks immediately beneath the surface film like a struggling emerging nymph, while the front half shows the messy fuss and sprouting wings of a mayfly squeezing out of its shuck. It is perfect for selective bank feeders and midriver sippers, but remains buoyant and visible even in low light conditions, and shows the fish a profile you won't find in other flies

Field Notes

This emerger is designed to imitate a mayfly struggling out of its shuck right in or just under the surface film. It is especially useful for selective trout feeding on emergers and sippers on rivers and spring creeks, and the buoyant front helps keep it visible in low light.

Pros

  • Excellent mayfly emerger profile
  • Buoyant and visible in low light
  • Good for selective surface-feeding trout

Cons

  • Can be subtle to fish if trout are keyed on a different hatch
  • May require careful presentation to match the hatch
