Barrs Emerger - Black | 3 Pack

A low-riding mayfly emerger for selective trout and tricky light. Barr’s Emerger (Black) shows a slim, dark silhouette with a subtle trailing shuck that reads “stuck in the film,” turning refusals into eats before and during a hatch.

• When it excels: Spring through fall around BWO/PMD-style hatches; overcast or drizzly days; soft seams, slick glides, and glassy tailouts
• Why it works: Trailing shuck and low-in-the-film posture scream vulnerable emerger; the black body adds contrast and visibility without bulk
• Pack size: 3 flies
• Targets: Trout (rainbow, brown, brook)
• Ready to fish: Sparse, consistent proportions for long, drag-free drifts; ties in well as a dry-dropper trailer

How to fish it

Use a 9–12 ft leader with 5X–6X and present slightly above rising fish; feed slack for a natural drift. Fish it 12–24" under a small dry as a sighter, or solo with reach/slack-line casts. At the end of each drift, add a gentle lift to mimic the ascent of an emerging mayfly.

Care

Blot dry after a fish and revive with a powder/shake desiccant. Keep the abdomen and shuck mostly untreated to preserve the low, in-the-film posture; dress only any wing/post lightly if present.
