EMERGERS
As
the pupa or sub-imago of
Mayflies,
Caddisflies, Midges, Stoneflies, Dobsonflies etc. move to and through
the
surface of the water to hatch they are referred to as emergers and when
large numbers go through this process at the same time it is referred
to
as a hatch. When fish are feeding on emergers it is important to be
fast
and accurate in your casting and to match the form and function of the
natural. When the naturals are large enough i individual size one very
successful technique is to fish an emerger pattern on top as both a fly
and an indicator and a nymph or midge pupa suspended just below it.
Hits
are often on the dead drift or the lift.
Detailed
below are the flies I carry in my "Emerger" fly box, the sizes that I
carry
and the colours that I carry.
