Hothead EMB

No comments yet

This is a fantastic nymph pattern that anyone heading to fish for sea trout in Argentina should not be without. Based on a fly named the EMB, which originates from Estancia Maria Behety fishing lodge on the Rio Grande, this is a variant incorporating a different body material and also a hothead fluorescent orange tungsten bead. Well worth carrying. The fly is dressed by Steffan Jones of www.fishing-wales.com. For information about fishing for sea trout on the Rio Grande make sure to check out www.aardvarkmcleod.com.

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
