TMC 5262 size 8 or 10 is what I tie it on but there is no reason you couldn't tie it bigger or smaller.

Chris,

that isn't your crazy stone is it?

CreekAddict · « **Reply #20 on:** April 23, 2009, 09:08:34 PM »

Nope. I'll be throwing that up at some point though. Keep your eyes peeled.

I really love that crazy stone, killer fly I've made a couple of golden and brown variations that are just as deadly. It's now my go to anchor fly next to the vladi worm.

It really doesn't even look like a stonefly like Nick's does. I don't know what it is about that fly, but in the right conditions, the fish go nuts for it! I'd like to see how the yellow one came out, send me pics if you get a chance.

I think the mixture of the movement from the marabou, the legs, and the antennae, with the addition of the bright ribbing really attracts fish.

When I get home from school I'll send you some pics, it's a bit different than your original crazy stone but it's definatly influenced by it.

Nice, thanks.

I am going to tie some of these up for my Steelhead trip this weekend.

Can't wait to hear how they work out.

So I made the trip out to the Salmon river this weekend. I ended up getting skunked. On Saturday I hooked 4 fish. Two of them were on your stonefly. Sunday I did not touch a fish. Unfortunately I lost all of those stones I tied up.

Sorry to here abput getting skunked but I'm glad to hear you got into a few fish with it.

Its part of the game. Just sucks when you drive four and a half hours one way and not land anything. I also used a pink bead. I wanted it to look like a stone fly sucking on a egg.
