Then 3 emergers .

First up. The Deer hair emerger (DHE)
Hook: b100
Rib tag end of thread
body and thorax, haresear
wing: deer hair (Roe is a good option)

variant with turkey biot body. basically with all these patterns the body can be changed to suit.

Then we did a snow shoe emerger
which is as above though the hook size preferance is smaller ie deerhair =12-10's, snow shoe = 14-16's
the wing material is the only differance otherwise.
