The Foam Back Emerger is one of my favorite flies to fish year round. It's proven it's self time after time. I used to fish them a lot in size 20, but recently, I have been using them more in size 26. They are still pretty easy to tie in that size. Everything is just a bit smaller and there is less space to place it on, but it's doable. A great fly to use during the BWO hatch, I only tie them in chocolate color and have found that a trailing shuck may be useful and I do add that to most of my bigger (#20!) flies.
Hey Juan. Seems simple enough to tie unless you have fat fingers like Moi. Nice job though.
ReplyDeleteKeep trying!
Deletei tie something almost identical but i use some midge flash under the foam as an under wing. i had combined a foam wing emerger, k.f. flasher and a zebra midge. it has been the best midge pattern i've fished. of course i call it mikes midge
ReplyDeleteMike, it sounds like a great pattern. Can't go wrong combining those patterns.
DeleteThanks for the video. I'm going down to the San Juan later this month and this is a fly that is a local favorite. I need to tie up a few.
ReplyDeleteTie them in size 24 and 26...if you can......
DeleteWill do. Thanks. Jerry
