In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady ties the Hott Butt Sally! Mid-summer is always a great time to be fishing, especially when the Yellow Sallies are on the move. Although they have a short hatch window in most areas, (Mid-June - End of Aug), you want to have a good imitation for when they are around. In steps the Hot Butt Yellow Sally. This fly is an excellent lifelike imitation that offers a red hot butt to mimic an egg sack of an adult Yellow Sally fly. In the evenings when they Yellow Sallies are making their way back to the water to lay their eggs, make sure you have this pattern tied on and ready for the strike.
