Description

The Grey Hackle Yellow fly pattern is a classic dry fly that has been left out of popular fly tying in recent years as so many of us strive to find new variations on techniques to create improved artworks on a hook. But, classic patterns like the Grey Hackle Yellow became a classic for a reason, and that was because they caught fish. A fly doesn’t need to be popular on Instagram for a trout to like it. And when these flies were first being tied, and fished, in the Smokey Mountains, there was no such thing as Facebook, et alone an iPhone. So, let’s take a step down memory lane and revisit a pattern that will still catch fish today and into the future. Tied on quality Ahrex dry fly hooks, these are not only sharp, but they are very tough and hold up after the hookset. You can fish these with confidence knowing they will not let you down when it comes time to muscle a big fish.

Now sold as single units per hook size. Buy as few or as many as you like!

Of course, if you want to tie this pattern yourself, Troutlore offers a complete materials kit for this pattern. You can find the ‘TieYourOwn’ kit for Grey Hackle Yellow here.

All flies sold at Troutlore are tied by hand in Australia by Rob from Troutlore, or designated tyers for specific patterns who are noted in the descriptions. The Never Sink Caddis pattern is tied on quality Firehole barbless hooks and using the best materials, this is a great addition to any fly box for all times of the the stream and lake season.
