This is a pattern that truly should be in your fly box if you’re planning to fish the sulfur hatch. Locally the sulfurs usually start hatching around the third week of May. This pattern may save the day if the trout become selective when feeding on them. Once again, for a low floating pattern, if needed, cut a v notch in the hackle from front to back. Harrop’s dubbing may be obtained from Trouthunter of Last Chance Idaho. (http://www.shop.trouthunt.com/)
