    Even though it's a cripple, this one worked for me:



    Here's the video by someone who knows a thing or two about them.

    Craig Mathews also has an emerger video that may work for you (I don't have any 1st hand experience)

    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    That 2nd one is pretty cool. I hate foam though. I bet a guy could substitute some CDC and it would work good.

    I forgot Wally's Purple Haze, which is similar to Mr. Mathews foam emerger:

    I would think you could easily sub CDC for the foam, but think of all those ducks with frozen fannies.

    Is black polypropylene yarn the same as the black EP Fibers?

    Bruce,

    Tied it with black Congo Hair; the only difference I've found between it and EP fibers is price (Congo Hair is about 1/3 the cost).

    Thanks for the nod, Scott. I love the halfback emerger with foam for the shellback.

    Here is a picture:

    I also like this one - it is a midge imitation, but when the BWO's are popping it works extremely well:

    Those are some good looking flies Kelly! I'll have to tie some of those up.
