Two Bit Sally

The Two Bit Sally, designed by esteemed fly tier Charlie Craven, is a weighted nymph pattern crafted to imitate the Yellow Sally stonefly nymph. Its distinctive feature is the incorporation of two tungsten beads, which enable the fly to sink rapidly, making it particularly effective in fast-flowing waters. The pattern utilizes materials such as Super Hair for the body and Fluoro Fiber for the legs, resulting in a realistic and durable fly that excels during Yellow Sally hatches

Strategic Depth Flipping: Tie the Two Bit Sally on a dropper rig, but alternate the fly’s position above heavier, non-descript weights. This reverses the traditional drift order and creates a “chase” illusion as trout perceive the Sally to be actively swimming upward.
