Umpqua Sweetmeat Sally 16 Doctor

Umpqua Fly Sweetmeat Sally is built for those Yellow Sally moments when trout suddenly switch to the small yellow stuff and standard nymphs stop working. The CDC "wing" gives extra life and subtle movement, while the jig hook helps the fly ride hook point up to reduce snagging on stones and wood. Sizes 14 and 16 cover most Yellow Sally hatches on European rivers, from shallow riffles to deeper pockets.

This pattern also works well as a general attractor nymph when nothing obvious is hatching. Fish it as the point fly in a nymph rig, or as the dropper under a dry. It sinks cleanly, tracks straight, and the slim profile lets it cut through mixed currents where more bulky flies struggle.
