Non-Weighted Nymphs/ Emergers

A great little baetis from Chris Krueger.

This jig head (with gold bead) variation of the San Juan Worm imitates an aquatic worm, an important food source for trout. Overall, it's a good attractor pattern that trout really seem to like, with the added benefit of the jig hook.

The best drowned trico spinner around

This is one of the best scud patterns for the South Platte Drainage and most tailwaters fisheries. Adapted from an old pattern called the "South Platte Scud" which was orange in color and for years found in most fly shops in Colorado. Pat has improved on

A great new midge larva

Pat’s very lifelike midge pupa pattern. Love it during heavy midge hatches.

We would not go to the Big Horn without a pocket full of the orange ones. Same goes for most tailwaters with the tan one.

Pat Dorsey’s famous Medallion Midge. Lifelike with the medallion sheeting pulled back for emerging wings.

The Bat Wing is one of our “go to” emerger patterns during the BWO and PMD hatches. Wonderful pattern in the film as a dry emerger.

Another versitle pattern from John Barr. Fish it alone on the swing or behind and adult caddis in the film. You can even run it on a double nymph rig.

The CDC RS2 is a great little mayfly nymph/emerger!

Simple emerger pattern with foam post to keep it riding up in the water column.
