DW Sulphur Dun

The Breadline Emerger Sulphur, developed by the innovative fly tier Bob Wyatt, was designed to bridge the gap between the nymph and adult stages of the Sulphur Mayfly. Wyatt, known for creating flies that prioritize functionality over perfection, crafted this pattern to mimic the vulnerable emerger stuck in the surface film. Its sparse design, combining natural dubbing and soft hackle, effectively imitates the transitional stage of the mayfly as it struggles to break free from its nymphal shuck. This fly is a deadly choice during Sulphur hatches when trout key on emergers rather than fully emerged adults.

Swing-to-Rise Technique: Cast the Breadline Emerger across and slightly downstream, letting it swing into the current. The soft hackle creates subtle movement, mimicking a drifting emerger caught in the surface film—ideal for trout feeding just below the surface.
