Western Green Drake
Emerger:
The Western Green Drake nymphs both swim to the surface to emerge from their
nymphal shuck or they may emerge beneath the surface. In some cases they may swim
up to the surface to trying to emerge several times. Remember this will usually be in the
slower moving areas of water adjacent to fast or moderate flowing water.
Presentation:
We use our trailing shuck type emerger fly to imitate the Green Drake emerger. To
imitate the nymph swimming to the surface, you can fish a slightly weighted imitation up
and across on the swing. If you are fishing our trailing shuck emerer fly, and we certainly
hope you will be, then you should allow it to drift drag free in the surface skim. An up and
across on the swing type of presentation is best for this.
