    WALLPAPER:  ELK HAIR EMERGER
    -------  
    SUCKSTER  CRIPPLE
    .. Each year at about this time we note the hot emerger pattern that the neighbors embrace.
    .. Especially on the lowland Madison River, where the spring flows are on the cold side, the emergers hang in the film for an extended period of time.
    .. Clustered in the shore-side slicks the emergers and, the submarines congregate in a ballet of ingest and die. The late mid day sun marks the end of the easy catching. The early sunny side of the river is a pure slaughter zone. This simple pattern will do you well.
    .. Some of the more mature neighbors stick with the Shuckster Cripple for their go to pattern. We tie up a double floater using one of each. Some call it cheating.
