Used this for the first time yesterday unweighted under a tungsten perdigon, and the trout were way more enthusiastic about the unweighted Barr emerger than anything else I tied on. Stupidly took it off to test whether other unweighted nymphs would work and it immediately slowed down. Good fly.
I'd just like to say thanks for the great videos. I just started tying flies a few weeks ago following your lead on several patterns including this one. I wish I could do something as well as you do these videos. Cheers.
Excellent little pattern. I am amazed that small 22 fit in your Regal. I just use a very fine tipped vise for these small bugs. Thanks for sharing. All the best to you and yours. Sean
Nice one. I am always looking for a good olive emerger. I'll try it. I often fish the wd40 fly in the film or just beneath as an emerger. Sometimes I simply cut the cdc wing off my olive dun and fish it and that works too.
When fishing the Lower Owens river outside of Bishop California in winter, One of the best patterns I use as a dropper before, during, and after the hatch with amazing results. Never without this pattern !!!
Big fish eat small flies. My best fly every year is a simple midge pattern, also size 22. I like this fly as well. Sure, its a bwo emerger, but also a nice little olive midge pattern.
Great video as always. What’s your opinion on teal or mallard flank vs wood duck? I have a bunch of teal and mallard flank but no wood duck, they look very similar to me but maybe I’m missing something?
what camera are you using? I have a very unproductive RUclips channel do to bad video quality and would love to make hi quality videos like yours. could you give me an idea on what I need to buy that's not to expensive, thanks.

Its a real challenge when you start getting down that small, You do a great job.

great thread control, makin it look easy
Pretty much my go to fly wherever BWOs and trout lurk
Great little fly, fun to tie and fish.
That was great. You must be a duck hunter or have very generous duck hunting friends. Awesome bag of feathers 👍😋

size 22 did i read that right? or are those hooks styles not as small as the regular fly hooks?

I have such a hard time not crowding the eye when I tie this fly, I now use a glass bead whenever I tie them
awesome!
