Evening eastern sulphur hatches can provide a frenzied period of selective feeding toward dark that is typically challenging and often frustrating as the trout are in their mid season form. To tip the scales in my favor I try to identify the stage of the emergence a feeding fish is focused on, recognizing that the sporadic, bulging rises are normally trout feeding on emerging sulphurs and the most difficult to fool. But a fish that is up and feeding on duns or cripples with an obvious head and tail rise and a regular rhythm can be a bit easier to fool. Sometimes it is worth taking the time to search out the best targets.
