Learn how to tie the Hilbert’s Day Saver Baetis
Hilbert’s Day Saver Baetis is a proven tailwater pattern that has caught fish in some of the toughest conditions. We love using this pattern in different color variations to help mimic the bug life in our local rivers. However, we have learned that the traditional BWO style that Brian ties is one of the best. If you have never fished with emerger patterns, we strongly encourage you to try the Day Saver Baetis and spin some up for your next day on the water.
