We decided to write this blog as a way of sharing some of our stories from past experiences fishing, tying flies, guiding, and traveling. Most of which are completely 100% true except for the names of people, some stories are slightly embellished and some are mostly made up. It's really for you to figure it out and for us to have some fun writing down some of the truly good memories we have had while immersed in fly fishing.

Fly Spotlight

GT Sulphur Emerger



This little guy hammered fish for me on Spring Creek the last few trips out. One single fly landed all the fish pictured below and many many more. It's a great pattern because while the hatch is sparse you can fish it subsurface by only Ginking the parachute. After they are on thick you simply apply your floatant to the entire body versus just the parachute and fish it like an adult! It's the best of both worlds. Emerger for the beginning of the hatch dun for the evening bite. It's been lights out! I suggest tying some up and hitting the stream! 

Recipe:
Hook: TMC 2487 #14
Thread: Yellow 6/0 Uni Thread
Body: East Coast Dubbing, Sulphur Yellow
Wing: Parapost wing white with a couple of parachute hackle wraps, I use light dun. 
Tail: Microfibbets light dun, tied into the parachute so they lay parallel with the hackle wraps, not off the bend of the hook. 


Use these pictures as proof that it does work. Sorry about the clarity, still working out some kinks with the camera. It wants to take macros when I don't want it to. I'll fix that glitch soon enough but until then... Enjoy!
