Roger. I will have about three different Sulphur patterns for you plus a Gray
Fox , all in parachute style. There's also other patterns that I will have.
I'd wait until after check in before getting a week's supply. However it's
always nice to pick up a few of the latest patern that Jonas recommends.

At the PA fly fishing show in Ft Washington last weekend, I saw a
presentation by Don Douple (If anyone gets a chance to watch it, its
well worth it). He did a lot of underwater videos of mayflies hatching
in PA. His mantra is to tie a fly that looks like the bug, not someone
else's fly. Two things I took away from that presentation is that the
flies that hang just below the meniscus, like a comparadun or a
parachute pattern, really do well to imitate those bugs trying to break
through. The Pirate showed me a fly that I now tie that is a GRHE
parachute. I will also now tie a PT Parachute. Perfect responses to
this behaivior.
The second item is the color silver. Many of the PA bugs hatch out on
the bottom and then pop to the surface (classic wet flies). Every
single one was covered in an air bubble that sparkled. I intend to wrap
some of my flies in plastic wrap or baggie plastic to imitate this.
We'll see how it works.
