JUJUBEE FOAM BACK EMERGER

Description

Jujubee Foam Back Emerger is a deadly subsurface fly designed to imitate emerging Baetis mayflies—just as they’re breaking through the surface film. This is when trout feed most selectively, making accurate imitation critical. The Jujubee delivers with a slim, segmented body, sparse legs, and a foam back strip that adds buoyancy and a realistic emerging profile.

Its curved hook mimics the natural hunch of a struggling mayfly nymph, while the foam and thorax help it sit right in the film—half in, half out—exactly where trout expect to see their prey during a hatch. It’s a go-to choice when trout are refusing traditional dry flies but aren’t fully committed to feeding deep.

Best fished on a long leader with a dead drift, this fly excels in tailwaters, spring creeks, and flat water situations. It also pairs beautifully with a small trailing dry like a CDC Baetis or Parachute BWO.

If you’re chasing picky trout feeding just beneath the surface during a Blue Wing Olive hatch, the Jujubee Foam Back Emerger deserves a spot in your fly box—it’s a confident closer when trout get tricky.
