Sprout Mayfly Emerger
2.3 / 5
(0 Reviews)
Description
The Sprout Emerger was developed by Bob Brooks during his tenure as riverkeeper at Hot Creek Ranch near Mammoth, California. This innovative pattern features a white foam post for enhanced visibility and buoyancy, allowing the body to suspend just below the surface film, effectively imitating an emerging insect.
Curated by the IdentaFly fly fishing team.
Pro Tip
A slight twitch with the tip of the rod will mimic the nymph struggling to emerge.
