The Turkey Emerger is one of my favorite "dark" patterns. On those high and sunny days when too much flash is not working, this is the pattern I turn to. It has done very well for me across most of Pennsylvania, and tends to be the bottom fly for me when fishing a tandem rig.

No I have not. I've only tied and fished it in this pattern for trout. Let me know how they ngs work out for you.

Sorta like a take-off on Craig Matthews' shop-vac which is very popular amongst guides on the Madison River as the dropper.?

I like the way they think. same materials?

Ralph, thank you for the beautifully presented fly! I really like this one and just know I will be successful when fishing it soon.

Nice fishy looking fly, but it doesn't look anything like this turkey emerger:
