Tip

Tip: Carry about three emerger-style patterns and tweak size and colour, rather than a huge box

How to do it: Limit emerger patterns to about three, adjusting size and colour, and choose something close that moves right

Mistake it fixes: Carrying more flies than you need

Why it works: A small emerger set forces focus on size, colour, and movement, which are the variables fish actually respond to, rather than endless pattern choice.

When it matters most: Emerger fishing
