Barr’s Emerger Blue Dun
Excellent pattern when fish are on the surface but not hitting the duns.
Trailing shuck and beadhead make this a great pattern to cast upstream, and allow it to drift into waiting fish.
Excellent for dropper combo.

Please contact customer service
Is the shuck and beadhead design suitable for all types of trout?
The trailing shuck and beadhead design works well with trout that are actively feeding on the surface or in mid-water, especially in slow-moving streams.
How should I store this fly to maintain its shape?
Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to preserve the fly’s structure and materials.

This fly performs well when fish are feeding just below the surface. The trailing shuck helps it drift naturally, and it’s effective in a dropper setup. I’ve used it in early spring and it caught several fish on a slow drift.

Good for surface presentations. The blue dun color stands out in clear water. Works well when paired with a small dropper. A bit stiff when new, but softens after a few uses.

Used it during a morning cast upstream in a stream with low current. The beadhead allowed it to drift smoothly and triggered a strike from a waiting brown trout.
