BH Copper John Emerger - Red

BH Copper John Emerger – Red

The BH Copper John Emerger - Red takes the proven Copper John profile into the surface film with a bold red wire body that adds an attractor element to the classic emerger silhouette. Red is one of the most effective trigger colors in fly fishing — it imitates the hemoglobin-rich body of many aquatic invertebrates and stands out in the film when trout are keyed on emerging mayflies. The bead head adds just enough weight to keep the fly riding right in the zone, while the emerger profile positions it perfectly for fish feeding just below the surface.
