Visit sourceYellow Sallies are the small stoneflies that crawl out of Southern Appalachian streams by the millions every summer, and the trout respond with the kind of feeding enthusiasm normally reserved for buffet openings. This pattern has the slim, low-riding profile of the natural -- a pale yellow body with pale wings folded flat over the back. It does not look like much in the hand, but on the water it disappears into the drift and gets eaten with a quiet confidence that flashier patterns can only envy. The hatch is generous and the fish are willing. This is summer trout fishing at its most enjoyable.
