Golden Olive Emergers

The weather seems to be taking a turn to the "worse" - the temperature has dropped, and after weeks of scorching heat we finally had some rain - which can mean only one thing: the summer is past, and the grayling season is coming!

Due to both past and forthcoming changes in my family arrangements I expect to spend somewhat fewer days fishing than I used to, but still I need to get ready for my favorite part of the fishing season.


Here are a couple emergers for grayling fishing. They are tied on a slightly heavier hooks and meant to be fished sunk in the film.


The tie:
#18 Dohiku 301 dry fly (somewhat heavier gauge than Hanák 103BL, my other favorite)
14/0 Sheer Thread color grey
3 strands of orange Krystal Flash to make my fly stand out in the crowd
body wrapped from goose herl dyed Golden Olive (Veniard)
2 tips of CDC feather

    I'm digging these. Have really fell in love with CDC this season. Good ones, Jindra!

      Thanks Erin!
      CDC is very popular material in Central / Eastern Europe, because it is both difficult and expensive to get quality rooster hackle (all the good breeders are in US). At the same time duck shooting is rather popular in rural areas.
      So instead of buying overpriced Whitnings or Metzes we pluck our own.
      Cheers!

    Hi!
    Nice looking emergers! I think you'll get lots of grayling on them.

    Jindra, those are deadly looking emergers - and that's a nice subdued golden olive. Martin

    Hi, I can't seem to find the goose herl dyed Golden Olive (Veniard)?

    have you dyed that colour?

    Thank you

      Hi Elvio,
      I have dyed the herl myself using the Veniard dye
      They have a nice color chart on their pages as well
      Cheers!
