Autumn is the season when grayling feed intensely, preparing for the winter ahead.You’ll find them in the slower, deeper sections of the river, swimming in gentle currents and waiting for the last small mayflies to hatch. During this time, if you’re fishing on a beautiful autumn day, look for the middle of the day — when ...
About fifteen years ago, while fishing the San River in Poland, I met a local fisherman who completely changed the way I looked at emergers.He was one of those rare anglers who seemed to hook fish on every cast, while the rest of us could only watch and wonder how he did it. During a short ...
I present you a simple emerger for Autumn. I call it Cripple emerger and is tied with peacock quill and a wild CDC wing. Not too small — tied on a #16 hook, it’s perfect for trout and grayling fishing in late autumn evenings. Materials: Hook: Demmon Supreme E500 -#16 - I find it a great emerger ...
Brown CDC Emerger – tied in the French style – is one of my favorite flies to tie and fish, especially during hot summer days.To be honest, it’s not a pure emerger — it’s more of a hybrid. This fly can be fished dry, but when it gets wet, it performs beautifully in the surface ...

If you notice fish feeding on the surface but can’t quite determine what they’re eating, it’s likely they’re targeting small flies. Here’s a fly pattern that has provided me with unforgettable experiences. Due to its tiny size (#20-22-24) and the fact that it’s nearly impossible to spot on the water, I pair it with a ...
CDC emergers are a must-have in any fly fishermen arsenal due to their realistic appearance, excellent buoyancy, and versatility in mimicking emerging insects. I like to use curved hooks more often than straight hooks. Curved hooks provide a more natural and lifelike profile, which is especially important for emergers that need to imitate the shape ...
If you love fishing with emergers, then you should tie this fly. The Kapok CDC Emerger is tied based on the classic Shuttlecock pattern, with the difference lying in the material used: kapok. Why kapok? Because it floats exceptionally well and traps air bubbles. All fishermen know that emergers imitate insects with a part of their ...
This delicate emerger is made for fishing in slow and medium running rivers. It can be used for lake fishing too. The fly should be tied as delicate as possible because grayling and trout has a lot of time to check how this fly flows in water film. Hook: Hanak H130 #16Thread: Veevus 16/0Body: Peacock ...
