In this video I hope to show you some basic details about stonefly nymphs for better fly tying and fishing. Music by JukeDeck, make your own at Jukedeck.com
Great video. I discovered Stonefly nymphs this past spring and love to tie them and fish them here in Arkansas tailwater. Very productive fly for targeting bigger fish.
Couldn't agree more. Of all the species of insects in the river, stoneflies intrigue me the most and imitating them has helped me land nearly all of my largest fish.
that was a neat video. I wish there was a video like this for every fly I fished, it would make it a lot easier to know when and where to fish certain flies. Keep'em coming.
@@skylerhardman1227 I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania, but mostly fish northeastern Pa. There are some beautiful stretches of river like the Lackawaxan river. There are also trout lakes in that region that are nice to fish. I've been on the lakes where sulfers were emerging and I just watched as the trout were hitting them on top and as they were emerging.
Nearly every book and video on fly fishing says to turn over a rock. I have, but I rarely know what I see - I’m not an entomologist! To me, I see bugs, and if I’m lucky, I have a fly that barely resembles something I see. This is a great video as it explains WHAT we see, WHERE and WHY we should use a fly, and HOW we should fish it. I look forward to more of these.
Thanks David! I recently moved to some new waters with different insects. So after I get to do some exploring I'm hoping to have more uploads like this. Thanks again for the kind words and tight lines!
This video was shot on the Henry's fork of the Snake river just outside of Yellowstone, but I recently moved to northern Idaho and my local rivers are high because we got a lot of rain. I'm waiting to more videos in the river until the water clears up a little. Then I should have some more entomology stuff.
In clear water conditions I think color can be extremely important. There are a lot of stoneflies in the river in that video and a ton of them are golden stones. I've fished a lot of Goldens on that River and for a year or so I never caught anything on it but I decided to take a bug home and copy it. I realized that they had a lot of black on them so I added some black dubbing to the golden stone colored dubbing and that pattern rocks it year round and the only thing I changed was adding a little black. But when the water is high and off color I would worry more about profile and adding some flash to get the fish's attention.

Nice vid man! I liked the underwater view at the end in particular!
Thanks a bunch! I hope to have some higher quality stuff out sometime soon.

Thanks. Glad you liked it. I eventually want to make a video like this for each aquatic insect
thats a really good idea i think someone should do it .
Nice video love the under water video haven't seen anything like this on RUclips.
Thanks a ton! I'm still pretty new to this but hope to bring some better quality more detailed underwater video soon.
Starting fly fishing this year. Thanks for the information on the stone fly. I'll start looking for them this spring.
Awesome! Glad to have you join our ranks. Where are you from?

man, id also love to see similar vids for other flies
Thanks, they are in the works and should be out later this year hopefully in higher quality to show better detail of the bugs.

Thanks this was very informative !
Raul Garcia Thank you I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks for a great video!
Thank you!
Great vid!!!
Thanks!
Excellent. Thank you!
Thanks!
thanks, nicely done, moving from still to river this will help.
Thanks, glad you liked it! I started making the opposite transition last year from rivers to still water. Good luck!
The river imo is more of a sport.
Great video thanks!
Thank you!
Excellent!!
ThankYou
Thanks, glad you liked it!
Very informative
Nicely done
Thanks Brian! Stay tuned, I hope to do some higher quality entomology stuff in the coming months.
Excellent
Thanks!
Hi, very helpful video, now I'm gonna try find this in my river to learn what's the best menu for my trout there 😉👍🍀
That's the best way to do it! Good luck, I hope to have some more videos one stream side entomology once the water clears up around here.
Skyler Hardman yes do more, where are you from/filming ?😄

Nice job
Thanks!
dry a bug, epoxy it, tie it to a hook. That would be interesting haha
The thought has definitely crossed my mind before haha.
взял такой на 0:55 подложил букашку...красавец фокусник
How critical is the color when tying a Stonefly imitation?
In clear water conditions I think color can be extremely important. There are a lot of stoneflies in the river in that video and a ton of them are golden stones. I've fished a lot of Goldens on that River and for a year or so I never caught anything on it but I decided to take a bug home and copy it. I realized that they had a lot of black on them so I added some black dubbing to the golden stone colored dubbing and that pattern rocks it year round and the only thing I changed was adding a little black. But when the water is high and off color I would worry more about profile and adding some flash to get the fish's attention.
Holy shit that was a giant stonefly nymph oh my god
Haha yep, and the crazy thing is, that river has those under nearly every rock.

Haha, I wish I could like this comment more than once!
