John Barr's BWO Flashback Emerger

No comments yet

In this fly tying tutorial, I demonstrate the procedures and techniques for John Barr's BWO Flashback Emerger, which represents the stage before the mayfly becomes a dun. This is an effective pattern that John has been fishing for nearly 30 years, and I encourage you to not only examine this pattern, but also attempt a few of the variations (and share them with us on the comments section of this page).

Thanks go out to Allen Fly Fishing for the use of their N205BL hook; check out that hook and others at: http://www.allenflyfishing.com/n205bl-caddis-pupa-and-larva-offset-poin…

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
