I've been on a quill body kick for a bit now. I just love them - think that they look great and prefer them very much over dubbed body dry flies.

I'd like to tye up some Sulphur Parachutes to immitate the Ephemerella Dorothea that hatch in Pennsylvania in late May / early June. I've got the A.K. Best book "Tying and Bleaching Natural Materials", which is a wonderful book. I've used the dye recipes in the back to dye quills for Light Cahills and Blue Winged Olives. My problem is that there is no recipe for "Sulphur Orange" in there. So if anyone has a recipe for Sulphur Orange dye, please let me know.

If it helps, these mayflies tend to be a pale orange color with perhaps some yellow mixed in. They are definately orange though. I'd be pretty happy with just coming close to the standard "Sulphur Orange" color that most shops sell Turkey Biots in.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-Darryl
