Foam Back Emerger

A versatile emerger pattern designed to imitate mayflies and midges trapped in the surface film. The foam back adds visibility and flotation while the body hangs just below the surface where trout often feed.

Best for: Midge hatches in spring, BWO hatches, Trout feeding just under the surface

How to Fish It: Fish on a dead drift through seams, tailouts, and rising fish.

Why We Like It: The foam back makes the fly easy to see while still keeping the body in the surface film where emerging insects struggle—often triggering aggressive takes from selective trout.
