Lawson's Halfback Emerger

No comments yet

The Halfback Emerger is a PMD emerger pattern developed by the legendary fly tier Mike Lawson. This fly imitates an emerging PMD mayfly as it morphs from a nymph to a dry. The Halfback Emerger is best tied in sizes #12-20 and is very deadly in the West!!

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.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
