Here is a video on how to tie an original pattern by Matt Grobert called the Cloud Emerger. This is a mayfly emerger pattern and Matt says this about it, “When trout are taking emerging mayflies off the surface, this is one of my go-to patterns.”
You can find more of Matt’s work at his blog, Caddis Chronicles.
