FTF Fly Challenge: Stonefly Nymphs

Recommended Posts

Guest

The new FTF Fly Challenge is any pattern that is an imitation of a stonefly nymph. Doesn't have to be something you tied recently or even a unique variation that you dreamed up yourself.

 

Post a pattern this month and you will be entered into a random drawing for one of two prizes.

Would you mind providing the material list for this fly please?

 

the black one or the metal one? im not sure if your joking or not...so the black one..

 

thread:210 denier

hook:Gamakatsu Sl 45 Bone fish size? 6 myabe 4 if forgot already

eyes: XL bead chain

tails: turkey feather

body:black yarn(mostly),brown, green, red yarn and clear sparkle yarn..coffee grinder blend

Collar:crayfish orange inda hen back

 

probably a decent all around warm water fly that might take a trout maybe. its all warm for me these days.

 

The other fly....sheet metal, rod iron, steel wool, and wire!

 

This one I like better than the first...size 4 so i have have room to get it to look right, still not to big for a nice trout..i tie size 8-2 impressionistic over realistic (mostly)
