Region Fishing RS2 Gray Emerger Midge Nymph Fly – 12 Flies with Mustad Signature Hooks

Overview

Meet the RS2 Gray Emerger Midge Nymph Fly from Region Fishing, a compact pattern designed for close-range, subtle presentations beneath the surface. While some anglers classify it as an emerger, this pattern excels when fished as a nymph, especially in cooler water where tiny midges are the likely prey. Its small stature invites delicate drifts that tempt selective fish without spooking them.

Heritage and design

Region’s RS2 Gray Emerger Nymph draws on Rim Chung’s iconic RS2 lineage—a fly that has earned a place in many anglers’ kits for decades. Rim’s work, often referred to as Rim’s Semblance 2, emphasizes clean silhouette, realistic materials, and a natural resting profile in the drift. Region’s version preserves that spirit with construction that holds up to repeated casts and long days on the water.

Durability and consistency come from hand tying by qualified professionals and the use of premium materials. Each fly is built to maintain a believable neutral-gray presence while delivering dependable hook integrity through a season of fishing. Pairing these flies with Mustad Signature Hooks adds confidence in point retention and reliable hookups when a nymph drift reads true.

What’s included

• 12 flies in total—three per size
• Four available hook sizes: 16, 18, 20, and 22
• Ready for immediate use or testing across drift scenarios

Key features

• Hand tied by qualified professionals
• Mustad Signature Fly Hooks for reliable performance
• Premium materials crafted for a classic, lifelike profile

Ideal conditions and use cases

This pattern shines in clear to lightly stained water where midges are a common forage. Its compact size helps minimize water resistance and downstream drag, making it a solid choice in calm pools, slow riffles, and the tails of runs where small prey is the ticket.

How to fish

• Fish as a nymph beneath an indicator or dries-dead-drift setup for a natural presentation
• Match depth to current speed and pool structure; slightly slower drift in riffles often delivers the most natural movement
• Vary line weight and leader length to optimize drift and visual appeal to wary fish

Care and handling

Rinse flies after use to remove debris and preserve thread wraps, then store dry in a dedicated fly box to protect materials and maintain shape for the next outing.
