JP's Emerger
Sunday, 20 October 2013 | JP

Whether it's olives or midges, this emerger is JP's go to pattern when the fish are sipping dries. Hook: Fish On Curved (fine) Thread: Fish On UTS Body: Fish On Ultimate Body/Rib (D-section fine) Thorax: Fish On Shimmer-dub (peacock) Wing: Fish On natural CDC This pattern is very simple to tie and is so effective JP rarely fishes any other emerger pattern. Yellow UTS under drab coloured Ultimate Body/Rib gives a wonderful translucent emerger effect to the submerged body with a hint of insect like iridescent sparkle from the Shimmer-dub thorax. Tip; try to leave a few stray fibres of CDC for that mobile leggy effect. Look out for full tying instructions in Fish On's new fly tying DVD released at the 2014 BFFI in February. | | |
