Emergers

This simple LDO emerger is excellent for rivers and can be adapeted to suit essentially any if the smaller upwing species including on stillwaters from march browns to olives to PMDs.

This tasty little chironomid is excellent for trout and grayling and can be tied in essentially any colour to match the midges where you fish.

We once again have teamed up with John Parisi who is the shop manager at TCO Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania.

This pattern is really about a method or concept in a fly, and hence why it is a "series".

Another fishy pattern that uses deer hair, moose mane and CDC for a great emerger that can be used for both caddis and mayfly hatches.

A simple black midge emerger that is extremely effective, wether tied on a lighter hook and fished dry, just hanging in the surface, or deeper under the surface as a wet or just below as an emerge

This is a very interesting pattern from Gordon van der Spuy’s first book, 'The feather mechanic’. The best of both, has two parachute hackles, one of traditional hackle and one of CDC.

A deadly little pattern that should be in all fly boxes! This midge emerger can be tied in any colour and various sizes to match any midge hatch.

This easy tie is a must for both caddis and midge hatches. Fish it static or with a short pull every few seconds, just to create a little disturbance in the surface.
