Collection: Emergers

Target rising trout with confidence using premium emerger flies from Glenwood Springs Outdoors — key patterns for imitating insects transitioning from nymph to adult on Colorado's productive rivers. Our selection features proven emergers like RS2, Barr Emerger, Split Case, CDC Emerger, Soft Hackle Emerger, Quigley Cripple, and Film Critic in sizes #14–#24, designed to sit perfectly in the surface film where selective trout feed during hatches.

These realistic emergers excel on the clear tailwaters of the Frying Pan River, the riffles and pockets of the Roaring Fork, and the varied flows of the Colorado River — especially during Blue Winged Olive, Pale Morning Dun, midge, and caddis emergences in spring, summer, and fall. With CDC wings, trailing shucks, and subtle dubbing, they drift naturally, trigger confident takes, and fool wary fish in Gold Medal waters.

Trusted by local guides and anglers in the Roaring Fork Valley, our emerger flies provide the right profile and buoyancy for technical dry-dropper or single-fly setups in variable mountain conditions. Available in store at Glenwood Springs Outdoors, 831 Grand Ave, Glenwood Springs, CO.
