3-wing emerger

Hook: Daiichi 1167 #12
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: UNI-Mylar Peacock #16, Wapsi Premo Deer Hair Bleached
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Chocolate Brown
Wings: Wapsi Premo Deer Hair Bleached

Found this interesting 3-wing emerger pattern on facebook and thought I would have a go at it. The original image was not particularly detailed, so I winged it in terms of execution. Since this was the first attempt some of the details came out a bit wrong, but I like the overall idea behind this one.

The top view: there is a lot of deer hair in this one, it should float very good

Trout view: I really like the profile from underneath

Side view: the raised wings will make this fly sit low in the water

Deer & CDC Emerger

Posted on 8 December, 20137 December, 2013 by Håvard Eide cdc deer hareline organza peacock polishquills sheer tmc

Hook: TMC 2457 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Tail: Sparkle Organza Dun
Body: Polishquills Stripped Peacock Orange
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ear Plus Dark Olive
Wing: Hareline Premium Deer Natural Brown, 2x CDC Dark Olive

I keep experimenting with the stripped peacock from polishquills and for a up-right emerger I would normally do either CDC or deer for the wing, but for this one I combine the two with a supporting layer of deer behind the CDC to see how it will behave. The sparkle organza tail will serve as a good attractor. This should sit nice and low in the water and for a slow-flowing river this will be a sure bet next summer.

From behind: the deer should help support the fly in a upright position

A bit dark, but a shot from the front:

The profile from underneath: the Hare’s Ear dubbing with the added bling will behave very good

Fiery Emerger

Posted on 6 December, 2013 by Håvard Eide cdc emerger hareline knapek mallard polishquills sheer

Hook: Knapek Midge Pupae #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Brown
Body: Polishquills Stripped Peacock Orange
Thorax: Hareline Hare’s Ice Dub Rusty Orange, 2xCDC
Wing: 2xCDC White
Legs: Mallard Flank

This pattern I found on theonfly.com and adapted to a different color scheme. The fiery red/orange of this emerger will make it a great trout/grayling fly that I now have to wait until april/may (until the ice melts away here in Norway…) to actually test. The body on this came out ok, I should have bugbond on the peacock quill, but the one I have is to thick to apply to such a body.The other thing I would experiment with is to have a bit more legs on to make them stand out even more

Top view: the legs will create a good footprint on the surface

Bottom view: the legs combined with the rusty orange dubbing is a great combination

A couple together:

Yellow Emerger

Hook: TMC 2457 #14
Thread: Sheer 14/0 Yellow
Body: Hareline Hare-Tron Pale Yellow
Wing: Hareline Premo Deer Hair

A couple of emergers that will sit low and stand straight up and down in the water. Easy to tie up and with a bit of flotant these will stay just in the right place.

Wing: Hareline Premo Deer Hair, Whiting Bronce Hackle

More variations over this emerger pattern that I have covered a couple of times before. The material in this one will keep it floating forever and should be great for those small trout-sessions with my Sage #1 rod. I think mastering a pattern involves going up and down in hook size and testing different materials and color choices to see how they will fit together, it also helps breaking the monotony in tying just one color variation!
