Tying the Simple Snowshoe Emerger

[Matt Grobert]

Here's a great fly that works well for trout sipping in little BWO's or midges that's easy to tie.

Perhaps, but in this weather my version stands the better chance of catching a trout :cold:

Give it a shot, I was out the other day in the snow and got 4 in the SBR above the gorge.

Yet you didn't call me to join you

I'm focused on deer right now. Besides, the blood thinner won't let me stay warm enough in fishing gear on real cold days like today, but I have enough hunting gear to stay warm while on stand. I would need wading boots at least 2 sizes bigger to jam enough socks and long johns in them right now.

Great pattern there, Matt!!

I really enjoy tying patterns like these, mostly because I can tie them up quick and simply.

It also doesnt hurt to have too many emerger patterns either!

Fantastic pattern Matt.
