Guest Report post Posted February 7, 2012 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.
