The Best Anglers Never Stop Learning
Tying Video
This fly works because of the movement throughout the entire fly. The tail, partridge legs, and even the spiky dubbing have great movement. This fly is very versatile, you can tie it in small sizes for small creeks and up to a big size on the biggest of western trout rivers. This fly can be used as a nymph or as a streamer. Stoneflies are one of the few nymphs we imitate that are able to swim (although not well). This allows you to add movement to a fly while still maintaining a natural presentation.
Get this fly deep through deep rifts and near structure. Use this fly as a heavy nymph or as a streamer. You can fish this fly on the swing, stripping, or dead drifting it. Stoneflies live on the bottom, not in the water column, this means that you need to get this fly deep. If you’re not near the bottom this fly will not work. Cast near structure and deep currents to catch hungry fish.
