I have taken some interest lately in the art of realistic fly tying. I have always enjoyed studying the stone fly. The basic look of the stone is able to peak the interest of any fly fisherman. It is strangely enticing due to the prehistoric feel of the legs and the segmented body. Its dark nymph looks to be something out of a sci fi movie. The following fly pattern is the result of many hours at the bench working on a realistic -yet fishable - stone fly pattern.
Please let me know what you think of the end result.
Your friend in fishing,
