The Callibaetis Sprout is an emerger pattern, designed with a white foam wing case for excellent visibility. Apply floatant only to the hackle of the fly. The half submerged fly looks like a struggling callibaetis mayfly, attempting to hatch, and very vulnerable to trout!. This emerging dry fly closely resembles the natural mayfly emerger for tough to catch, selective trout. Use it when trout are gently sipping callibaetis from the surface of the lake.
The para midge represents an emerging chironomid or midge. Only the front half of the fly should have floatant applied, so that the front half floats, the back half sinks. The result will be recognized by fish as an emerging chironomid, and an easy meal.
Two materials: thread and hackle. Despite the simplicity, or perhaps because of it, this fly is a favorite of regular midge anglers. We like it trailed behind a larger Parachute Adams.
As much as we all love a good dry fly eat and as much press as nymphs get ("nymphs account for 80% of a trout's diet"), trout spend a lot of time between the two slurping easy prey in the surface film. This pattern lives in the surface. The hackle-stacker style hackle and foam shuck result in a maintenance-free-stay-in-the film gem.
The Mole Fly emerger is a very effective mayfly emerger fly. The shaggy body of natural dubbing is meant to sink in to the film. The CDC wing and a few strands of fluoro fibers act as a wingcase. Trout will grab this fly as an emerging or crippled mayfly. This verision is tied with an olive body.
Trout can be maddeningly picky. After trying one adult damsel pattern after another, I noticed that the trout were going after pairs of damsels....This is a fun damsel pattern to fish, and very effective!!!!
Cotton Wood seeds are among Carp's favorite treats...this easy to see high floating seed pattern has a foam seed post and cdc fluff. Sitting along with the naturals this pattern doesn't stand a chance.
When swarms of flying ants are available to trout, they can become very picky. This is a very good pattern to have available to selective trout. Try the Black Fur Ant also.
The Elk Hair Emerger is the fly that Roger Hill features in his book: Fly Fising the South Platte River. This emerger is effective on the Platte River, where some of the pickiest fly inspector trout reside!
