Name that fly....

I have had some success with this fly, but wasn't sure of the fly name. I'm running low and would like to pick some up for the new season.......

...an emergent sparkle pupa.

Emergent Sparkel Pupa . . . . that's an awful tore up one! Hey sbeausol, did the stuff hanging off the end fold back over and around the body at one time?

[Flyfish99]

There is a simplified version of both the emergent and deep Sparkle Pupa that has an antron "wing" tied over the body rather than the envelope tie. I saw this at the Marlboro show a few years ago. When wet, the "wing" lays down over and around the body, and it works well. OTOH, that fly doe look a little chewed up, which likely adds to it's effectiveness.

This fly is my #1 fly... I fish it just below the surface. If there are caddis around it gets killed.

The stuff (antron I guess) hanging off the back has always been like that. Which is why I wondered if it was a different fly than the emergent sparkle pupa which has the antron connected to make a sphere like below -

FWIW, I tie my emergent pupa more like the first fly you posted than the second. A very short deer hair wing, sparse dubbed body, a little antron tied over the body, and more tied in as a trailing shuck. Almost like an X-Caddis, but with a little antron over the body. Loke you said, when caddis are about, it is dynamite.

Looks like a caddis emerger with an antron trailing shuck (well chewed). Sparkle pupa have a more upright wing (at least as I tie them)
New it would look like this:

except that version has a different color for the shuck
