Emerger
by Kuab Khrushchevsky
Emergery ( from English emerge - emerge, appear), are flies that imitate insects that are in a very attractive moment of transformation for feeding fish. The insect just below the surface, or half-submerged, passes into the perfect stage ( imago) and is defenseless at this point. It is no longer able to swim actively, not yet able to fly away - it is an easy prey. For this fish very often selectively choose this very stage. It is necessary to be prepared for such a situation. In our box, in addition to dry imitations of mayflies and caddisflies, there should necessarily be their emerger versions.
I attach a semi-transparent wrapper to the hook. With the leading thread I wind a densely segmented, spindly trunk.

I cover the torso with thick coils of wrapping.

Now I tie a bunch of light CDC facing forward. In front and behind this "sail" I leave some space for the dubbing coils.

I make the dubbing from the hare's hair placed in a split leading thread. Care should be taken to ensure that the dubbing contains as much stiff pile hair as possible.

I wind the dubbing coils in front of and behind the CDC bundle. These should set the sail upward and slightly forward. It will imitate the unfurling wings and make it possible to observe the fly when the trunk is underwater, I varnish the head. Here is an emerger imitating a transforming mayfly.

You can also wind a slightly thicker trunk and lay the wing flat to the back - then you get a great imitation of an outgoing grunts.
