No local information here, but I do have an observation that might be relevant: The Sulfur hatches we have in the west usually start late in afternoon or evening. Are these the same mayflies? Or is it just a name collision? Our Sulfurs are tiny #18 - #22 mayflies that are a little browner (but not much) than the slightly larger and yellower Pale Morning Duns. The pmds hatch at midday, and those duns tend to ride the surface for long distances before flying off. So trout often take the floating pmd adults. IE pmd hatches mean good dry fly fishing. But western Sulfur duns fly the moment they pop up out of the surface tension. Not surprisingly, the dry fly fishing is tough. If you want to catch fish during the Sulfur hatch, in Montana, you're better off fishing nymphs or half-sunken emergers. Does that fit the Delaware pattern too? |
