RS2 EMERGER FOAM WING

Description

RS2 Emerger are popular fly fishing flies, known for its effectiveness in imitating emerging mayflies and midges. The fly is designed to be fished near the surface, mimicking the transitional phase of an insect between nymph and adult.

• Profile:

  The RS2 has a slender, low-riding profile, designed to imitate an insect struggling to break through the surface film. 
• Materials:

  Common materials include a long shank hook, thread for the body, a sparse tail (often microfibbets), and a small wing tuft. 
• Variations:

  The fly can be tied in various colors to match different mayfly and midge species, and it can be fished on the surface, subsurface, or as a dropper. 
• Fishing Techniques:

  The RS2 is often fished dead-drift, but can also be twitched to imitate the movement of an emerging insect. It can be used alone or as a dropper behind a dry fly or other emerger patterns. 
• Effectiveness:

  The RS2 is particularly effective during selective trout feeding on emerging insects, especially during Blue Winged Olive and Trico hatches
