Description

I’ve had some success with this emerger. The colors that I recommend are bright green or yellow. I used string for the ribs instead of using copper wire, I think the copper wire adds more weight. You can change out the round foam for white antron if your prefer.

Instructions

Step 1: Start your thread near the eye of the hook and wind back to the shank. Grab some of the cream hackle and tie in to make the tail.
Step 2: Bring your thread all the way up about 3/4 of the way to the hook. Begin to tie in the round foam for the wing. Build enough thread in the front to make the foam stand up. Bring the thread back to the shank and tie in some yarn that will be used for ribs.
Step 3: Begin dubbing from the tail up through the wing, remember to cover the bottom section of the wing. Rib the yarn up to the wing and tie in your cream or grizzle saddle.
Step 4: Wrap the cream or grizzle saddle around the wing. Make sure you have enough for it to float nicely and do the usual whip finish.
