Emu Deceiver - New Fly!
Designer: Dave Kollmann (St. Cloud, MN)

Emu's Worst Nightmare: Dave Kollmann - St. Cloud, MN The next time your driving around Australia and come across a dead Emu, grab some feathers. Our friend and frequent contributor, Dave Kollmann is using this fly with great preliminary results for big smallies on the Mississippi. It’s a large fly pushing four inches and can attract large fish of various species.

Dave Kollman - FlyBass Advisory Staff We are seeking replacement feathers in the event one does not have ready access to a dead Emu. You might try plucking a few feathers off one - if you see one grazing somewhere, but I’d call that ill-advised.

Emu’s are the missing link between a dinosaur and a bird. I understand they don’t take kindly to feathers being plucked off of them, while still alive. Furthermore, word has it - they don’t particularly care for plucking when they are dead, either.

Nonetheless, this new fly, with encouraging early reports, may cause a meteoric rise in the stock of Emu farms around the world. Sounds like a great investment opportunity in light of the current plight of the Dow.
