The Devaux Emergent Flies ES 2 are designed to faithfully mimic the emergence stage of aquatic insects, a moment when fish are particularly selective. Their precise tying provides a natural drift and a balanced silhouette that triggers strikes even in challenging conditions.
Resulting from Devaux craftsmanship, these flies ensure stable buoyancy and excellent visibility while remaining discreet, offering long-lasting effectiveness on heavily fished waters.
With a refined profile, the Devaux Emergent ES 2 excels when fish focus on half-emerged insects. Its balance allows a low posture in the surface film, enhancing the realism of the imitation and improving hookup rates. Hydrophobic materials make reconditioning between casts easier and extend service life. Its design promotes a discreet presentation, reducing spooks on clear, low-flow water. Devaux's tying, known for its consistency, ensures a fly that is ready to fish immediately, without unnecessary adjustments.
Favor an upstream approach with a dead drift, paying attention to leader length to preserve the drift. Lightly lubricate the thorax area to keep the fly in the film, and avoid intentionally soaking the abdomen to emphasize the emergent posture. In slow water or on educated fish, alternate between a dead drift and micro-animations to suggest the insect freeing itself. Adjust tippet diameter to water clarity and be sure to degrease the tip to avoid unwanted reflections. After each fish, gently dry the fly and revive the fibers to maintain effective buoyancy.
"Tested as soon as it became available, Devaux's Emergent ES 2 allowed me to win over wary trout during sporadic hatches. Its hold in the film is impeccable and visibility remains sufficient without excess bulk. Refusals have noticeably decreased compared to other models that sit higher on the water."
Is this fly suitable for fast water?
Yes, its balanced tying allows it to maintain a stable hold in slight chop; adjust hydrophobic dressing sparingly to optimize hold.
Should I treat it before the session?
A light hydrophobic treatment on the floating areas is enough. Avoid saturating parts meant to remain in the film to preserve realism.
Which fish is it most effective on?
Primarily brown trout and grayling, but it also works on other salmonids when they target emergers.
