Hair Wing Yellow Sally

The Hair wing Yellow Sally is a dry fly pattern designed to imitate the Yellow Sally stonefly, a prevalent insect in many trout streams during the summer months. This pattern features a red floss butt to represent the egg sac of the female stonefly, bleached elk hair wings and head, and a yellow body, effectively mimicking the natural appearance and behavior of the Yellow Sally. Its buoyant design makes it an excellent choice for fishing in fast-moving waters where these stoneflies are commonly found.

When fishing in heavily pressured waters, try using a slightly smaller size than the natural insects present to entice wary trout.
