In this fly tying tutorial Lance Egan ties the Corn Fed Sally 2.0!
Yellow Sallies are one of the more delicate species of stoneflies. As such, a dainty CDC pattern is fitting for a Sally imitation. Enter version 2.0 of the Corn-Fed Sally. Sallies often hatch in large numbers, and in my experience accompany more selective rising fish than their larger stonefly cousins. Trout are more likely to blow up on a large Salmonfly or Golden stonefly imitation, but tend to exhibit careful, less aggressive takes when eating yellow Sallies.
With that in mind, I set out to create a pattern quite different than a yellow stimulator or typical foam/elk hair style heavily dressed stonefly imitation.
Similar in design to the Corn-Fed Caddis, the Corn-Fed Sally uses CDC for the wings and hackle. If you’ve fished a Corn-Fed Caddis or other CDC pattern, I’m sure you’ve found CDC is as close to “magic” as duck feathers get 😉. Tie a few Corn-Fed Sallies and make the fish on your local waters aware of your presence 💪.
