Larimeers Yellow Sally

The Larimeer's Yellow Sally is a precise imitation of the Yellow Sally stonefly (Isoperla spp.) — one of the most important and overlooked hatches on western rivers. When Yellow Sallies are on the water, trout key on them selectively, and a well-presented imitation in the right size is all you need. The slim profile, yellow body, and realistic wing silhouette land softly and sit flush in the film, triggering confident surface takes from fish that have seen every generic attractor in the box.
