Where to Fish This Fly
Related Emerger Patterns
Sparkle Dun
Craig Mathews' emerger design sits in the film with a trailing Antron shuck, imitating a mayfly emerging from its nymphal shuck. Essential during PMD and BWO hatches when trout key on vulnerable emergers.
BWO Emerger
A Blue-Winged Olive emerger pattern with a slender olive body and CDC wing. BWO emergers are critical during spring and fall Baetis hatches, particularly on overcast days when these tiny mayflies hatch in incredible numbers.
CDC Caddis Emerger
A soft-hackle style caddis emerger using CDC feathers for buoyancy and movement. Fish it in the film or just below during caddis hatches. The natural oils in CDC create a lifelike shimmer that trout find irresistible.
