Scott’s Floating NymphThis pattern is an excellent imitation of a mayfly “emerger”, a mayfly nymph which has risen to the surface film and is about to emerge into the next-to-final adult mayfly (dun) stage. The concept is to fish the fly just under the surface when fish are engaged in “bulging” rises. When fish are taking emergers, their rise-forms are often mistaken for surface-feeding rises. Surface-feeding rises, however, tend to be splashier, or at times subtle, suck-in takes (especially if the fish is large). Learning to recognise what trout are doing by their rise-forms will increase your success rate. |
