SilverDoctor Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 You also have to look at what the particular emergers look like. A good general on is the Sparkle Pupa created by Gary LaFontaine. A lot of emerger patterns are a derivative of this pattern. I have a few personal ties that work. http://www.westfly.com/fly-pattern-recipe/...arklepupa.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I have my own version of the CDC Caddis which I have tested on the Bow and has become my "go-to" caddis pattern when trout are rising to emergers. Here is the pattern: http://www.fishtactics.com/ViewFlyPattern?patternID=3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conor Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I have had luck lately with a CDC pattern. Take one standard CDC feather (type 3?), and tie in at the bend. Wrap forward for the body (you should have about enough barbs tied in to create the body) and keep wrapping for a soft hackle effect. You should be able to get away with a single CDC feather. If not, tie in another towards the head (try not to bind too many barbs) and wrap until it looks good. It worked for me the other night on a particularly picky fish. He was rising with good caddis pops with some aggressive head-tail rises mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
