emerger swap

Ok, here's a pic of my #12 Red Fox Squirrel Soft Hackle Emerger. I'm always willing to learn, so any comments are appreciated for sure.

As I said above, this is a searching pattern I like because it's quite 'buggy' and can suggest alot of different mayfly or caddis life-forms to trout.

It's based on the Dave Whitlock pattern, but modified a bit.

I've had alot of success using "old school" soft hackle wets this year. At the least, they allow one to fish some water that might not otherwise be receptive to a nymph or a dry.

I fish it just under the surface, and it usually gets the most action just at the end of the drift as the line tightens and the fly begins to lswing or rise.

This is just a suggestion, but how about we all post our 'emerger' recipes. I know it would help me learn and understand how these patterns were constructed.

Good suggestion, I posted the pattern on the database. Unfortunately, my photography skills are lacking, but the dressing is posted.

cdc bwo emerger ( pg 234 Tying Emergers by J.Schollmeyer & Ted Leeson)

 

Hook lite wire scud

Thread olive 8/0

Tail woodduck flank

rib none(pattenb book calls for lt copper wire)

Abdomen blue wing olive

legs woodduck flank (i subsituted mallard flank dyed wooduck)

Head brown olive

 

by subsituting diffrent colors and tailing and leg materials you can match a variety of mayfly hatches. ive used it for march brown, sulpher,light cahil and its even fooled em during a heavy caddis hatch for me.

I've finished my set of flies. I tied a very effective "guide fly" - the cdc and shoeshow hare emerger. All packed up and ready to go. I'll hit the post office this afternoon.

 

I'll try to photograph and post the pattern to the database later this week.

Mine are ready to be mailed.

 

I went TINY and made up a Peacock and Pheasant Emerger on a size 22 hook.

 

It will serve as a great baetis emerger but also double as a very passable midge pattern too.
