Try a Yellow Fly Fishing Fly for Trout
This article is to share a few fly fishing secrets and techniques I have learned or developed over the years. It is mainly about when to try a yellow trout fly or trout dry flies and nymph flies with some yellow on them.
I fully understand the concept of matching the hatch and for the most part agree with it. There is times however that I step outside the match the hatch box and offer the trout what might seem like a complete contradiction to the match the hatch rule. Have you ever been on a stream or river and witnessed a huge hatch on the water with only a few trout feeding on the hatch. With thousands of flies on the water and only a few trout feeding on them what are the chances that one will choose your fly? A few years ago this happened to me and instead of trying to match the fly that was on the water I instead tied on a Female Adams Fly that was a little similar to the fly that was hatching except that the female Adams is tied with a little yellow at the tail end of the body that simulates an egg sack. With my female Adams I caught three nice trout before my friend caught his first. Since then I have tried female Adams flies, yellow Humpy Deerhair flies, yellow Dun flies, Sulphur Dun flies, and even Yellow Sally flies with amazing results.
The other time I will tie on a yellow fly is when there are no flies hatching and nothing seems to be working. When this happens try using a yellow fly. The yellow color seems to stimulate fish that are not actively feeding to strike. If you can’t coax a fish to the surface to take a yellow dry fly than try a yellow or olive nymph fly. The yellow dry flies and nymph flies also seem to work well when the water is cloudy.
Again I want to talk about the female Adams dry fly again. The Adams fly closely resembles many other flies that hatch on trout streams. The female Adams with the yellow egg sack is without a doubt the deadliest fly you can have with you. During times when I expect to catch trout feeding on dry flies I always have at least a dozen female Adams flies with me in various sizes and it is always the first fly I tie on my line.
