It always seems to take a couple of flies before I get a new pattern to look right. Edited August 15, 2023 by TSMcDougald typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TSMcDougald 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2023 General Stone Fly Nymph - Hughes took this pattern from Schollmeyer's Nymph Fly-Tying Techniques Hook:: 3XL Streamer #6 Bead: 5/32" Black Weight: .020 Lead Free Thread: 70 Denier Black Ultra Tail: Black Turkey Biots Body: Black Angora Goat Rib: Rust D-Rib Wing Cases: Turkey* Legs: Black Round Rubber Antennae: Black Turkey Biots * The flexament coated turkey tail feather used in this fly is about nine years (which tells you how little I have used it - still have about a third of it left) old and kept splitting on me. Which tells me that it is time to get new turkey tail feathers. Although, this one still works for Hare's Ear Nymphs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
