A dry fly breakthrough

[cyama]

This year I decided to concentrate on dry flies for trout again. It was all started on the Yuba many years ago. Early in the season I would hike as far upstream as possible to fish for the giants on dry flies. Back then you were looked down upon if you were out there with an indicator. Anyways there was always talk of pink flies that caught lots of fish. This year early from february to april the pinkies were out in abundance. I developed this emerger and it worked great. In smaller sizes and in yellow or light pink it will imitate a pmd. Inspired by Harrop. Best fished in tailouts below riffles. When you hook a fish hold your rod up and let it run….

Neat fly! Seems like you've got the hatch matched with that little bugger. Keep slayin those pigs!

Tom Page is great guy I remember a few years ago before he opened the shop sharing a run with him and his clients. His clients were sticking fish on one side of the river while I was catching fish on the other side. I saw on his website he also has another fly called a Yuba Pinky that is a parachute.
