| Description |
An emerger is a nymph on
the point of emerging as a winged adult that is struggling to penetrate
the water's surface tension. Typically drab and non-descript, it
is best represented by a soft-hackled wet fly fishing just
sub-surface cast along the food line.
Emergers are fished suspended in the surface
film and are particularly effective during evening rises in the
warmer months. |
