Early Brown Stonefly

Recommended Posts

Are they as fragile as they look?

 

I mostly use Coq De Leon Rooster Cape Hackle and is very durable.

 

I have on earlier ones used Hard as Hull, head cement, and flex cement on the wing to ensure they hold up.

 

As it turns out they are durable enough where I no longer use cement on the fibers.

The wing can be used on not only on dry flies

Beautiful flies! I just this week got a copy of "Chauncy Lively's Flybox" because I was interested in his early stonefly pattern with the wonder wing. They look to be both beautiful and functional.

Mike.
