Just finished up an order of size 18 BWO Spotlight Emergers for a local shop. This is a fun pattern to tie, and it really works well during a hatch.

Used to tie one like that for the early hatches on the Arkansas River outside of Cotopaxi Co. but used a black post for fishing cloudy days. White and or dun posts were hard for me to see on that silvery looking water.

Different colored posts can work in varying light conditions. I have all sorts of colors of antron and poly yarns that I use for for posts: Orange, pink, chartreuse, white, dark dun, I even have a couple of multi-color yarn options... They all work well in different circumstances.
