A specialized pattern designed to specifically mimic the emerging stage of the grannom caddisfly,
The Grannom Emerger is tied on a curved or straight nymph hook. The body is typically made from a blend of dubbing, often in shades of olive or green to mimic the natural insect. The tail and optionally legs are usually made from dark, fine fibers that add to the insect-like silhouette.
The head of the fly is usually made with the tying thread, and then finished with a whip finish and head cement for durability. To mimic the natural insect's color variation and segmentation, the abdomen can be ribbed with a contrasting thread or wire.
The Grannom Emerger fly is designed to imitate the emerging stage of the grannom caddisfly as it transitions from a pupa to an adult, an important food source for trout and other fish species.
The Grannom Emerger is most effectively used in rivers and streams during a grannom caddisfly hatch, which typically occurs in the spring. It can be fished just beneath the surface to mimic a rising emerger, or deeper in the water column where trout are feeding on ascending pupae.
This fly pattern is primarily used for trout, but can also be effective for other species that feed on caddisflies, such as grayling.

You always buy from one fly tyer at a time
When you add a fly or set to your cart, you buy from the fly tyer who tied it. Add as many flies as you like from this fly tyer.
You can not add flies from multiple tyers, because else you would have to pay shipping cost for each one, making your shipping cost very high.
Estimated delivery time is shown in the shopping cart
Some sets and flies can be in stock, others might be tied to order. The item that takes the longest will determine the total time your order will take.
The estimated time your order will take is always shown in the shopping cart before you check out.
