This Saturday's Fly

We will be tying up variations of the sulphur, from nymph to emerger to spinner. This is a big long hatch on the West Branch, the site of our June chapter trip. If you haven't signed up contact Doug there are still a few open spots.
The sulphur is a pale yellow fly, most nymphs imitate it well. The emergers and nymphs floated just below the film can be deadly. Materials needed are: pheasant tail, yellowish dubbing, partridge, gold wire, tan or cream hackle, dun colored CDC and spade hackle for wings or post on parachute flies. The puff diddie is a spent or still born sulphur, so include some yellow biot and wood duck flank fibers in the mix.
Let's see how many variations we can come up with!

Saturday 9:30-12 noon Patchogue-Medford library Main St. Patchogue
