Fly Tying how to tie an Emerging Mayfly

Emergers are one of the most important dry fly patterns for fly fishers. Trout seem to pick them over any other stage in the hatch cycle. It’s at this time that the nymph is at its most vulnerable to becoming a meal. Emergers often get stuck in the surface, and are easy food for hungry trout. It pays in spades to always have a selection of emerger patterns in your armoury. The Danica Mayfly is really prevalent on the waters I fish and this pattern will score big time!
