Barr's Emerger
John Barr's BWO emerger is the definitive trailing-shuck pattern for imitating Blue-Winged Olives transitioning from nymph to dun. The brown Z-lon shuck, olive body, and dun hackle create a profile that hangs perfectly in the film, fooling the most selective tailwater trout.

Fishing tips
Fish in the film during BWO hatches. It is the pattern to reach for when trout refuse standard BWO dries.
