schaef 0 Report post Posted September 5, 2012 Emerald shiner patterns are deadly early in the season. Don't forget about the simple wooly bugger either, olive and black seem to produce best in size 8. I usually swing them through the current when the water temps are above 40 but they can drifted also. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cussfly16 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2012 I am with Schaef, last year when a buddy and I went to Erie, we killed them on a small size 10 shiner pattern. They were demolishing it, like they were angry... I think that is why I love those fish! If I can I will post the fly on here for you to see....
