Anyone try Parasol Emergers before? I've only read about them.

I have a few parasol pheasant tails. I tried them once on the Farmington when the fish were eating something just below the surface but didn't hook up. I also tried them last June in the Catskills, but only got missed strikes/refusals, no solid hook ups. The water was dreadfully low and clear, and the fish very selective. Seems like a good concept and a good tool for the right application.....

Those things sure look funny but they are deadly. I fished them for the first time last season. Great fish catcher.

Flyone73...what was the water condition like?

Well last year the water as you know was extremely low. The flow couldn't have been more than 100-110cfs. Fished them in the heads of pools coming out of the faster water. I really didn't dress mine as heavy the one shown. I used a little tuft of cdc.
