	How to tie a Compara-CDC- Emerger The AARP FLY By Al Caucci Big wild trout love eating bugs that can't fly away as they approach. More and more of our fishing is done with emergers as trout frequently prefer this more vulnerable stage of the hatch to the actual duns. My emerger pattern also doubles as a cripple or stillborn and can be used successfully during and after the hatch. Give them a try and I'm sure you'll be impressed. This pattern works great in low light and glare situation where its hard to see the deer hair Compara-Emerger.
