YELLOW SALLY NYMPH B.H.

Description

The Yellow Sally Nymph Bead Head is a must-have pattern for summer trout fishing when these small yellow stoneflies are active in riffles, pocket water, and seams. While Yellow Sally adults are known for their vibrant fluttering along the surface, the nymph stage is equally important to trout—and this fly offers a realistic, high-visibility presentation that gets noticed.

Tied with a bright yellow body, subtle thorax dubbing, and a tungsten or brass bead head, this nymph sinks quickly and gets into the feeding zone fast. Its compact, slender silhouette imitates the natural stonefly nymph and works especially well in freestone streams, high alpine creeks, and even tailwaters where Yellow Sally hatches are common from late spring through early fall.

This pattern fishes well in a variety of rigs—tight-line Euro setups, traditional indicator nymphing, or as the dropper in a dry-dropper rig. It’s especially effective during midday or warm evenings when trout key in on emerging or tumbling Yellow Sally nymphs in fast current.

Whether you’re fishing Colorado’s Eagle River, Montana’s Madison, or any Rocky Mountain freestone, the Yellow Sally Nymph B.H. delivers fast strikes and consistent action when yellow stoneflies are on the menu.
