Sulphur Dun - Emerger
These nymphs usually emerge just under or in the surface skim. The water is
usually fairly smooth in the locations the hatch occurs. This means you have to
make a fairly good presentation to prevent spooking the trout feeding on the
emerging duns.
Emerger Presentation:
The smooth, slow water areas that the sulphurs hatch in, may require you to
fish for individual fish that are rising. This is best done using a down and across
presentation. Many anglers call this "technical" fishing. It requires the same type
of presentations sometimes necessary for fly fishing spring creeks or smooth
flowing tailwaters. In fact, many of the sulphur hatches take place in spring
creeks and tailwaters.
You may not be able to get very close to trout feeding on emerging sulphurs.
This means a longer cast is necessary. In the slower moving, smooth water this
requires a well presented fly. You may want to use a longer and lighter than
normal leader. Leaders that are ten to twelve feet and from a 5X to 7X size are
preferred in many cases.
You want the "Perfect Fly" Emerger and Emerger with Trailing Shuck to float flush
in the surface.
