Sulpher Emergers

This was recently discussed. See below for more.

 
I need a good sulpher emerger pattern. Let’s see what u got!
I hear ya. You and everybody else. I found it pays to tie different styles. No one pattern is Death Ray. It can be a difficult hatch on pressured water.

Been using this pattern for thirty years. It can be adapted to all mayflies using colors corresponding to a particular species. For smaller species like a BWO, I tie them in 18 and 20 but use a thread body instead of a dubbed body.
