I fished my version of a Yellow Sally over Memorial Day Weekend right where you’ll be during the PA Fish-In. I caught a GAZILLION fish. See my post on page 2 under “PA Fish In” in Sound Off.

My recipe is basically just a size 16 Elk Wing Caddis.

I use Hot Yellow Ice Dub for the body. If you can’t find it, use the plain yellow dubbing of your choice.

Yellow hackle if you have it, tied full palmer. If you don’t have yellow, cream will do. I was lucky enough to find a ton of yellow Whiting 100 packs last year so I use yellow.

The wing is the lightest creamiest elk hair you can find. I find that most of the dyed yellow stuff doesn’t flare out right.

That’s all there is to it!

I’ve been using this pattern for two seasons on North Central PA streams with excellent results. It works for me all day, as a searching pattern even when I don’t see any Yellow Sallies in the air or on the water. At dusk and in the evening when the naturals are out it works even better! It also floats great with the palmered hackle especially on the broken water that is so common on the NCPA streams.

Have fun!

Hi Wireguy
Another good yellow sally pattern to try is
hook-your choice
thread-primrose yellow
tail- pale chartreuse deer body hair
body- pale yellow dubbing
ribbing- cream hackle palmered and trimmed on top
wing- pale grey duck quill section coated with cement
hackle- cream

You may wish to get Don Bastian’s video reviewed [url=http://www.flyanglersonline.com/review/062705.html:c5825]here[/url:c5825] which has an excellent tutorial on the Yellow Sally and seven other wonderful wets.
Enjoy.

I believe this is badger hair. Cool fly.

The traditional Yellow Sally is a great wet fly for all types of trout. The tie found in Bergman’s “Trout” –
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size=“1” face=“Verdana”>quote:</font><HR>Body: yellow floss
Ribbing: gold tinsel
Tag: gold tinsel
Tail: yellow quill
Wing: yellow quill
Hackle: yellow <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

doesn’t give the brightness of the yellow, it is intense.

Tied on a #10 wet fly hook, it livens up your fly box and works well in fast water.

I tie a stimulator and use yellow dubbing for the abdomen and yellow thread.

Wireguy;
After reviewing some of the pattern’s and photo’s I wonder how chartruse or yellow “Punch Yarn” would work for the body? I’ve got about 100 yard’s of each.

Don’t forget the Michigan Fish-In August 14th to the 20th. The Holy Water’s of the Au Sable await you!!
