I've been tooling around with a few different stonefly ideas and I've come up with the fly above. It's sorta a Bitch Creek/Rubberlegs/Halfback combo and I really like the looks of it. I'd like to sub some Hot Orange Ultrawire for the ribbing to serve as a Salmonfly "trigger" but I didn't have any on hand. I put in an order with Stockard though, so I'll add some pictures once I give it a try.

 

Thanks in advance for your comments,

Good looking fly and fairly simple from your recipe...thumbs up all the way! :thumbup:

That looks like it should be a very productive stonefly pattern. You might try some variegated chenille as well.

Thanks for the suggestion.....indeed, orange/black variegated chenille would definately give the effect I'd like to imitate. This one's just a prototype, there's a ton of color combos that I think could be successful though. Black/orange and golden/brown are on the list of things to try (but I've gotta buck up and buy some materials!!! :crying: ). I'll post some pictures when I get around to playing with the colors.
