Lauren Lehigh is a high school student from Colorado and has been tying for about 7 years. Lauren was a featured tier at The Fly Fishing Show in Denver this year. To say she stood out from the crowd was a bit of an understatement.

This simple emerger pattern is easy to tie and can be modified into a number of different color schemes to meet your needs.

Lauren prefers the grey and peacock with silver and white accents for the water she fishes near her home in Colorado.

Emerging patterns are great to use when you are seeing fish coming to the surface, but you don't see their heads coming out of the water. Typically trout eating emergers will roll. You will tend to see the dorsal fin and tail of the fish come to the surface.

Fish this fly under an indicator or behind a dry to help detect the strike.
