Tied on a premium Ahrex barbless hook, this is the ultimate river emerger for those tricky days when trout are sipping just beneath the surface. The natural deer hair wing keeps the fly riding low in the film, perfectly imitating an emerging olive or caddis struggling to break through.
A superb tactical fly for selective or fussy fish, the buoyant yet delicate profile allows a drag-free drift even in broken water. It’s one of those patterns that can save the day when rising fish ignore everything else – ideal through spring and summer when trout are keyed in on emergers.
Durable, reliable, and designed for fine presentation on light tippets, this pattern deserves a permanent spot in every river fly box.
