    Default Yah I know their not crappie flies


    I was busy at the vise tonight, tying up some trout flies.
    Here are my bubble back emergers.
    Sorry, a bit blurry.

    I really like them. Did you buy the foam strips or cut them yourself?

    What size are they?
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    Not sure what you got for a tail, but thinking those float with only the bubble out of water? Nice pattern and you tie a mean fly. Never played around much with emerger patterns. One I did and caught trout on consistently is a Quiggley Cripple.

    I tie my emergers with no hackle, just a bit of extra dubbing that I rough up with an old hacksaw blade, and a piece of foam sticking up just behind the eye. that way it suspends with the foam just dimpling the surface, and the dubbing looks pretty close to the tangle of legs/wings of a crippled emerger. I like it because it's very effective, and really quick to tie so I can really crank 'em out and don't mind trying for those fish that losing a fly is more likely than catching the fish. Plus, with closed cell foam, they never stop floating perfectly until the foam is torn up too badly. Also, with the outrageous price of a good rooster neck, who can afford the 50 different colors that you "need" to match the hatch? I save those for my adult patterns.

    Those fly's look like they would really give those trout a headache. Are those aspirin for them ?
    Good looking!! I need to start making some fly's myself.
