Sulphur Nymph

This fly is roughly based on a PMD pattern in "Kaufman's Tying Nymphs"

Thread: Brown 6/0 for 12-16, and 8/0 for smaller hooks. Any type will work
Bead: Optional for size of hook
Tail: Barred wood duck or barred mallard flank. (NOTE: Looking for the darker bands in the tail. See Tim Flagler's video on tying sulphurs for New Jersey waters for the need for bands)
Rib: Small copper wire
Abdomen and Thorax: Brown, Rusty Brown or Oilve Brown dubbing
Gills: Brushed or picked-out sides of abdomen dubbing
Wing Case: Dark goose, dark turkey or pearl flashabou
Legs: Two approaches—pick out thorax material on sides or add barred feathers to each side of the thorax

Barr Emerger

This fly is based on the Barr Emerger in John Barr's book "Barr Flies". The pattern is for a PMD a "western" sulphur. The pattern can be tied for use as a "wet" fly by changing the hook. I use dry pattern as a nymph and can be tied with a bead and/or a flash back.

Hook: #12 to #20 straight eye dry fly hook, standard length. For the "wet" version use a scud/shrimp hook
Thread: Light Cahill (light yellow) or any light yellow/cream thread will do
Tail: Brown hackle fibers
Abdomen: Olive brown (any dubbing that will make a tight dubbing noodle will work)
Wing Case: 12-16 fibers from a Blue Dun, Cream or Light Neck
Abdomen: PMD (light yellow) super fine dubbing
Legs: Same fibers a wing case, split and pulled down
