Little Yellow Sally

Little Yellow Sally

A proven small stonefly imitation, the Little Yellow Sally is designed to match the Isoperla stoneflies commonly found on trout streams throughout North America. With its slim yellow profile, elk hair wings, and subtle red butt, this pattern offers a realistic presentation trout readily recognize.

Lightweight and highly buoyant, the Little Yellow Sally performs well in both slow and moving water, especially during summer stonefly activity when trout are feeding selectively near the surface. Its natural silhouette and easy-to-see profile make it an excellent choice for rivers, freestone streams, and technical trout water.

A must-have pattern during Yellow Sally hatches, this fly consistently produces fish when trout are focused on smaller stoneflies drifting along the surface.
