You have flashy flies and flies that just flat out catch fish. This one is the latter. Works great also off the back of a dry fly to imitate a fly stuck in the film. You would be surprised how often you think fish are eating dries but in reality, they are eating just below the surface.
Barrs Emerger is a proven emerger pattern for trout feeding during mayfly activity. It imitates the vulnerable stage when insects are transitioning toward the surface and are easy for trout to intercept.
This fly is useful during PMD, BWO, baetis, and general mayfly hatches when trout are feeding just under the surface or refusing adult dries. It works in tailouts, riffles, seams, slicks, and soft edges.
Fish it behind a dry fly, under a small indicator, or as part of a light nymph rig. It is a strong choice when trout are rising but not fully taking flies on top.
