Soft Hackle Sulphur Emerger

[S.Trutta]

The sulphur hatches are right around the corner and I've been busy tying up all the different stages so I'll be ready. This pattern is great because depending on how you fish it it could cover just about any stage of the life cycle. It can be greased to be fished on top as a crippled dun, fished plain in the surface film as an emerger, or squeezed wet with or without a small shot and fished down and across as an ascending nymph.

Hook: Mustad #3399A #16
Thread: 8/0 Pale Yellow
Tail: Wood Duck Fibers
Body: Mottled Nymph Blend Dubbing(Sulphur)
Rib: Fine Gold Wire
Hackle: Partridge

Nice looking bug. I expect you'll be attending our soft hackle tying group (at least in spirit) and tying this up for the swap.

June's theme is soft hackles that imitate the Cahill family, but that Sulfur would be pretty darn close.

I bet we could work something out. We had around a dozen people show up for the first group a couple weeks ago.

great looking fly! Thanks for posting. I enjoy fishing soft hackles as well. Dropped behind a good ole' para-whatever is a deadly! Sulphur hatch is probably my favorite of all of them. They are coming off on the Toccoa and I'm having a blast!
