Grizzly Hackle, Yellow

The Grizzly Hackle Yellow fly uses a bright yellow body and grizzly hackle to imitate small yellow-bodied mayflies, like Pale Morning Duns or Sulphurs, or to act as a high-visibility attractor in fast water.

History:
Likely developed as a visibility-focused variation of Catskill dry flies, this pattern helps anglers track their fly while offering enough "bugginess" to suggest a range of aquatic insects. It works well as a prospecting fly in turbulent streams or as a general imitation during yellow-bodied mayfly hatches.
