BH Copper John Emerger - Copper

BH Copper John Emerger – Copper

The BH Copper John Emerger - Copper takes the proven attractor profile of the classic Copper John and adapts it for the surface film — imitating a mayfly nymph in the critical moment of emergence. The copper wire body delivers the same flash and weight that makes the original Copper John so effective, while the emerger profile positions the fly right in the film where trout are feeding during a hatch. A versatile pattern that works as both an attractor and a hatch-matcher, producing when fish are keyed on emerging mayflies and when they're just looking for something flashy and different.
