I did fish a small ( think it was a 22 ) emerger pattern on that hatch yesterday and did hook a couple fish with it, and had a couple hit it but not hook up.

... small flies, but gave it a go this morning. These were tied on a size 22 1X short hook, which makes them about size 24.

Fished them this afternoon to the tiny BWO hatch. The problem with such small flies, for me, anyway, is that most of the fishies that hit them do not hook up. This one did.

The other five that hit one of those tidbits splashed and jerked the line a bit, then went bye-bye. But it was fun.
