duckydoty 0 Report post Posted February 4, 2008 I went fishing with a buddy (motroutbum) today on the North Fork of the White River. We were polish nymphing and using some stone flies that he had tied up. They were working pretty good. After motroutbum rolled over one stone we found out why. He found both of these bad boys under one rock smaller than a baseball. After that find, I think we need to beef up the size of flies we were using. duckydoty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

duckydoty 0 Report post Posted February 6, 2008 I thought some of the realistic tyers might enjoy some of the shots. I personally had never seen a real stone fly nymph so I had no idea that they were soooo big. They are now perserved for future tying reference. duckydoty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ethan Bright 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 Pteronarcys nymphs. Friendly beasts, actually. Shredders of course particulate organic matter, although they will eat an invertebrate or two. Ask them nicely, they'll do your shopping for you. Cheers, Ethan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
