Sorry for the shadow...pulled it out of a box for a quick pic. :)
Not a deer hair comparable emerger, I fear.....
Its a compara emerger. Not sure what you are looking for then?
I'm not looking for a deer hair emerger, but , rather, a deer hair Compara emerger.
I was looking for the differences between the two books: "Hatches" and "Hatches II".
There were changes in insect identifications. Then, I was looking at the treatment of fly pattern rationale and patterns. In the original "Hatches", there was a discussion of the importance and effectiveness of emergers. But, that version did not have the tying directions of their "Deer Hair Compara Emerger. Hatches II does.
It is often difficult to judge how successful your effort to tie a pattern is without seeing a photo of the tied pattern.
Here is the illustration they present in Hatches II of the completed fly:

So, was looking for a photo of a fly tied in conformance with their illustrations.
This is my first attempt.

Byron that looks good, except it's now tied with a z-lon shuck. Kind of like an x-caddis with a short wing. Haven't seen it tied with splayed tails in years. Check out the Delaware River Club Web site they have lots of pics. I'm starting to play around with the camera and fly pics, maybe soon?

OK, the book reference would have been more specific. :)
However, it is a Compara Emerger….it is a comparadun wing, tied shorter and slightly forward, spread 10-2 vs the 180deg as in the Dun. I believe this is a variation of Han’s? Don’t remember for certain, but have been using it for awhile.
I should have realized you have been digging through the book for a bit now. :)
No, Hans' fly is a variation of Bob Wyatt's deer hair emerger.
The term "Compara" was used solely by Caucci/Nastasi in their patterns, I.e., Comparadun, Compara Nymphs, Compara Emergers, and Compara Spinners.
The Wyatt and Hans' version, I recall, have the deer hair tips forward vs, to the rear in the Caucci/Nastasi original pattern? The Wyatt and Hans pattern don't have split tails either as I recall? Tied on a curved emerger hook?
Gene, I looked at their site and must have missed it. Only saw new emerger patterns. Didn't see a Compara Emerger.
Can you post a pic?
I'm very confused.
