I'm surprised that no body mentioned the possibility of terrestrials. At this time of year, a wet ant is always something to consider. (Or a dry ant for that matter.)
And I daresay, almost all other wet flies represent emergers. Just don't fish them too deep.

Trifly, Howdy;
to to use as I'm not familiar with Nova Scotia or the subtle color changes of
the bugs in that area. It's a far cry from the Southwest desert of New Mexico.
The suggestion of the aquarium net is definitely a good one.

good idea about the ants. I've seen that before long ago. Ants sink slightly (are never to emerge again) and will be taken just below the surface. This is also the time of year for ant hatches.
Re: emergers
I saw it just last week. I took a dozen browns on a sunken ant on a day when nobody else I talked to seemed to be catching anything.zen leecher wrote: ↑Wed Jul 17, 2019 10:15 am good idea about the ants.

Re: emergers
Sorry , by your post I thought you knew the exact fly and technique to fish it.

Trifly, Howdy;
I'm not generally one to specify anything in particular, I may offer a suggestion
but I'm not a person to tell anyone anything. Let alone which fly to use.
To many different subtle nuances from one area to the next. Besides, back East
they don't have any concept of using much of anything below an 18 let alone 22-26's.
