purple and partridge and bwo soft hackled emerger
Gents,
I thought I would share these two patterns that I had success with on a local tailwater that I fish. Both are tied on a #21 tiemco 102Y. Any comments or suggestions are always welcomed. take care. Otto

Both are great ties especially for that size...I really like the BWO.
What size spey rod are you casting these with?

I hate it when I think I'm buying organic vegetables, and when I get home I discover they are just regular donuts.

Re: purple and partridge and bwo soft hackled emerger
Since you asked for suggestions...I suggest you tye up a dozen of each and sent them to me!!! (friendly humor / just kidding)
In all seriousness, they are both beautiful flies. I especially like the plump body on the BWO pattern.

Very fishy! No wonder you've had luck with them. You have inspired me to start tying in smaller sizes.
