Identifying Emergers

This week’s RIO Fly Fishing Tip shows how to identify emergers. Emergers are flies that are in the transitional stage between the underwater nymph or pupa, and the fully hatched adult.

When trout key in on emergers, they usually ignore the dry fly and feast exclusively on this low-riding insect, so having a good selection in your fly box is essential for the prepared fly fisher.

RIO's Fly Fishing Tips series are short, less-than-a-minute videos, each bought to you by a RIO employee or ambassador and showing a single fly fishing tip to help you become a better fly fisher. The series includes freshwater, saltwater and Spey topics, and a mix of casting, fishing and gear tips - some basic, some technical, and everything in between.

Each new tip is released on RIO's Facebook and Instagram pages every Friday, so if you like the sound of this series and want to get these tips quickly, be sure to follow RIO on these platforms.
