Gary Pearson 2 Tone Emerger Stillwater Trout Fly

2 Tone Emerger Stillwater Trout Fly 

from the Gary Pearson Flies - Turrall Collection

The Gary Pearson 2 Tone Emerger is a game-changer when targeting trout that are feeding just beneath the surface. Designed in collaboration with renowned angler Gary Pearson and produced by Turrall, this fly has been meticulously crafted to imitate emerging insects in the most realistic way possible. Perfectly balanced and incredibly effective, it’s a must-have for any serious fly fisher.

Tied using high-quality fly tying materials, the 2 Tone Emerger features a bi-coloured body to create a natural segmentation effect, an emerging wing profile, and a sparse hackle to enhance its lifelike appearance. This careful construction ensures the fly sits perfectly in the surface film, mimicking vulnerable insects struggling to hatch—making it irresistible to feeding fish.

The 2 Tone Emerger is designed to imitate emerging midges and upwing flies in their most vulnerable stage. As these insects struggle to break through the surface tension, they become prime targets for opportunistic trout. This fly is particularly effective when fish are feeding selectively on emergers, often ignoring fully hatched adults or nymphs.

Best Time of Year to Use the 

2 Tone Emerger Stillwater Trout Fishing Fly

This fly shines throughout the spring, summer, and autumn when hatches of olives, midges, and caddis are at their peak. Whether you’re fishing early morning hatches or targeting evening spinner falls, the Emerger is a top performer.

To maximise your success with the Gary Pearson 2 Tone Emerger, try different presentation techniques. Fish it dead-drift on a floating line, allowing for a delicate, natural presentation that fools rising trout. For a more versatile approach, use it in a Duo or Trio setup, positioning it as the top dropper in a New Zealand-style rig with a nymph below to effectively search different water depths. Alternatively, a slow figure-of-eight retrieve can be highly effective, subtly moving the fly through the surface film to imitate a struggling emerger and entice strikes from selective fish.
