Soo many anglers fail to consider the value of stonefly nymph and its place in the food chain of fish. They are present in most rivers all year round. Protein wise one stonefly equates to between twenty up to more than double that in midges at any stage of their lifecycle. They need that extra weight to get them down in the moving water. A great example of how they can be effectively tied.
This fly is so well tied. Really cool technique to keep the bottom flat and wide. This is up there with the Arizona Prince (a fly that is criminally underappreciated imo), and the Ice Wing Caddis Pupa.
Now that is a very cool looking stone fly. I’m a bit intimidated with all the materials up front but I hope to eventually tie some. It just looks like a yummy fly for fish.
As a new(er) tyer (~ 6mos) ...how long til I get the hang of tying in rubber legs/spanflex... omg ...it keeps "walking" away from me so my legs look ...well...one going this way, one going that way, two doing what they're supposed to...haha damn
Because the rest of the world wrote me individual letters over and over again begging me to tie it. We knew you already knew how to tie this because you hadn’t written any letters. So, yeah. This one unfortunately wasn’t made for you.

Actually… nobody fails to consider the value of a stone nymph!! Pure protein and we sell a ton of them.
What an awesome fly!!!

What a fantastic fly,one of the best ever
Great looking fly! With the bead, underwire, and wire body this could be the ultimate runoff stone.
The "antennas" that snails grow are sensory organs, like eyes, nose, or tongue. Love your videos.
Yes!!! Thanks!

The key is to find spanflex that is pretty straight in the package. If it’s curly it’s really hard to work with.
With the Lead and the Wire I wouldn’t want that one in the back of the head!
In Philadelphia it would be called the "Copper Jawn"

Why did you make this tutorial I already know how to do it
Because the rest of the world wrote me individual letters over and over again begging me to tie it. We knew you already knew how to tie this because you hadn’t written any letters. So, yeah. This one unfortunately wasn’t made for you.
