The Emma is the last (for now) in my Bergman series of wet flies. I chose this because the wing is made with simple Jungle cock should (some refer to them as Jungle Cock body feathers). Now all wet flies have to have fancy matched and married wings. The rest of the fly is tied just like many traditional wet flies. The Emma is a quick fly to tie and fun.

If you have any questions about the tying of this fly feel free to let me know in the comments below.

If you would like to purchase some Emma flies there are a number for sale on my website (while supplies last). - https://dressedirons.com/product/the-emma
