I'm going back home to PA next week primarily to fish the Green Drake hatch. Every year I tie a new pattern or two to try out. Since last year I've been terribly fascinated with emergers. Here's one I thought I try this year and see how it works out.



It's the Steve Lopatic's version of the Eastern Green Drake Emerger from "Tying Emergers" by Schollmeyer and Leeson. After cranking up a few the only thing I thought about doing different was adding a contrasting ribbing thread or something to give it a more segmented look and a bit of flash. Anyway, I'll give them a try and see how they work out.
