Its funny that everyone is talking about fly patterns tonight, just today I did a how to for Chris's blog on my stonefly pattern. http://creekaddict.com/ This stonefly makes a good anchor and kills on high gradient free stone streams that I like to fish. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Wow, that a nice one. It looks tooo advanced for a noobie like myself.

As you know, I love this pattern.

It looks great. The funny thing is I have been looking for a good stone fly nymph.

I bet if you use yellow dubbing with black wire that would be a killer yellow stonefly.

The Kaufman Golden stone dubbing with black wire makes a killer golden stone!

Looks really nice. Those rubber legs will surely attract some attention. Well tied.

Another thumbs up for that fly Nick!

That looks great - what are you using for the wing case? I'm tired of spraying turkey and getting mixed results.

Also, anecdotaly, though it doesn't look as nice, I find that I have a higher catch rate with barred rubber legs as opposed to solid - not certain if it is real or perceived, given the number of variables at play.

Funnily enough, I was seining the Housy last weekend and was amazed at the number of yellow stones that were around - also their size, mostly 10 to 12 with even smaller thrown in. I lost my one remaining yellow stone in a tree that day, so spent last night tying up some - tried loren's patten with hackle, we'll see how it works tonight.

I posted the complete how-to on his fly here. http://creekaddict.com/?page_id=130

He's using mottled thin skin for the case.

Nice stone nymph, Nick. I too have been trying some stone patterns. Sort of prince nymph in darker colors. Not sure if they are being taken as stone fly nymphs but they are being taken.
