Klinkhammer Sulfur Emerger

One day I was watching the TV show PA Outdoor Life, the story this week was about fly fishing the Lehigh River near Jim Thorpe, PA. The second half of the show was Tom Lienhard  tying the fly he was using during the sulfur hatch.  I really liked the looks of this fly and decided to tie some up.  Due to the length of the hook used to tie this fly I used #16 and 18 Diiachi 1660 Klinhamer hooks.  I used the fly on the Lehigh and Lacky as well as a few other streams in our area when the sulfur flies were hatching and had good luck.
