Note :

This fly imitates the emerging sulfur mayfly. Fish it below the surface just like a nymph. It is shown tied with an off-white poly wing loop. Yellow would be preferable
but I don't have any. The fly is shown with and without a wing case. The wing case is mainly to make the fly look good to the human who tied it. In my experience,
fish don't care if the wing case is added.

ABOUT THE FLY TIER

I was born and raised in Northern Ohio where my favorite activity was walleye fishing on Lake Erie with my father and brothers. I now live in upstate NY where I enjoy fly fishing for trout and smallmouth bass. I have been tying my own flies since about 1990.
