Sulphur

[Ruard]

Nice Ruard.

Is the hook really Kamasan B175, looks like a straight eye hook on the photos.

I heated the eye and then bend the eye right: don't like the up nor down eye for SH's.

Thank you all for the nice words. I shall tie a few also on a B175 #16, but i like the most the tying with the gold holotinsel as thread in the dubbing brush.

Bill where there any insects that are yellow when you were in Roscoe last year.??

greeting

Ruard ~ Most of the mayflies present during that time period in Roscoe have yellow in them to a greater or lesser degree. The mayfly we call the "Sulphur" (Emphemeralla dorothea and its cousins) is so named specifically because of its yellow-orange coloration.

Great patterns Ruard.

I was tying up some very similar to the first one for my sulphur flymph pattern for Roscoe.

I tied also some with a orange fruit bag thread.

Very nice series--"yellow" will serve you very well in the eastern United States, not only when sulphurs and Light Cahill's are coming off, but also because many streams have a rather constant hatch of "Little Yellow Sally" (Isoperla) stoneflies throughout the day. Where I live in the Southern Appalachian's, I'd fish any of those flies from the end of March to the end of October.
