Sulphur emerger in the film — the most-taken stage of the Sulphur hatch.
Fish this when
Fish it on Eastern freestone and limestone streams during the evening Sulphur hatch, when fish are working the film hard rather than the fully risen dun.
Why it works
It's tied to sit low and half-submerged rather than perched on hackle tips, matching the stage where a Sulphur dun is still dragging its shuck through the meniscus — the point in the hatch trout key on hardest.
