Mayfly emergers are a must have pattern on trout streams for when you see the trout feeding at or just below the surface. This single material Loop Wing Mayfly Emerger is the perfect solution. It can be tied in a variety of sizes and colors to easily match the hatch, and it really only requires one material in addition to a hook and thread.
Materials
Hook: Daiichi 1130 size 12
Thread: Benecchi 10/0 color to match
Body: Polypropylene Yarn
Tools
Material clip
Dubbing Spinner
Small comb or Pet brush

The Crease Fly
The Crease Fly was invented by Captain Joe Blados for salt water – striped bass/blues/albacore/tuna. A few of club members fished with Kyle on the Wisconsion River this summer. One of his go-to flies is the crease fly. Similier to a top water popper but light weight and productive. It is a realitively simple fly to tie: some bucktail, flash and 2 to 4 MM foam folded over a wide gap hook.
Materials
Hook: Gammy B10S # 1 or #1/0
Thread: white (heavy for bucktail)
Bucktail: white (can add contrasting color on top)
Flash: Pearl Krystal Flash or Flashabou
Body: 2mm to 4 mm foam
Foil covering: silver holographic
Eyes: Flat Stick on Eyes ¼”
Tools
Needed:
Superglue: gel control
Bulldog clip (about length of hook shank)
Scissors to cut foam (will have foil on foam – don’t want to dull your good ones)
