Quest for the Two Headed Trout
I was on the SBR all weekend…The bug activity was light with some caddis coming off but not in any real numbers…mayfly activity was almost non-existent…But I did see a handful of sulfurs, so that hatch is about to pop…The Ephemerella Invaria usually hatch during the evening in the still pools or quiet water..The early stage of this hatch may see some mid-day hatches…a few days before the hatch the nymphs will start to migrate from the riffles and runs to the quiet water..Pheasant tails in size 14-16 work well in imitating the nymph…Two days after the hatch, the spinners will drop their eggs over riffles…A week or two after the Invaria, you will see a smaller sulfur, the Ephemerella Dorthea size 16-18…I like to use a CDC sulfur emerger with an antron trailing shuck to fish the hatch…The sulfur hatch is one of the most consistent hatches on the South Branch…Get on the water and enjoy!<o></o>
