Advantages and highlights of the product :
The EMERGENT FLY MAI02 from Devaux is designed for demanding anglers, whether beginners or experienced. Its refined and ultra-realistic appearance makes it easier to fool wary fish. It offers :

• A perfect mimicry of the insect in the emergent state, a highly effective strategy on selective fish

• Artisanal finishes guaranteeing durability during intensive use

Usage tips and recommended rigs :
Best used with a fine line (tippet 10 to 14/100 depending on water clarity). To optimize fishing action, use this fly at the point on a dead-drift or gently drifting presentation. It pairs perfectly with a discreet leader and subtle chumming at the margins or on water seams. Using a suitable floatant or floatant dressing helps prolong buoyancy and increase its surface attractiveness. Favor a soft, careful approach to maximize presentation, using precise and natural movements. This emergent fly shows its full effectiveness during massive May hatches or late in the day, times when fish are more likely to rise to feed on the surface.

Testimonial or expert opinion :
"Since the release of Devaux's EMERGENT FLY MAI02, I have significantly improved my catch rate on rivers. The imitation is astonishing, and trout no longer hesitate to take the emergent when they ignore other patterns. Its stability in the film of water and its capacity to remain attractive even after several fish make it an essential asset in my fly box." – Jean, passionate angler, 2024 season
