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.
Pro Tip
A slight twitch with the tip of the rod will mimic the nymph struggling to emerge.
