Emerger
Olive Shuttlecock Emerger
TroutFilm
A CDC-winged olive on a curved hook — body below the surface, wing floating in it. The chalk-stream fish that is refusing every dry fly is usually not refusing because the pattern is too visible; it is refusing because it is in the film, not on top of it. This is for those fish.
Fish this when
When fish are bulging or sipping without breaking the surface and the floating dry is being refused. Try this at the same size before going smaller.
