Hi Flytire,

What size do you tie those small stones? Also, where do you live? I'm from PA. I usually do okay with the small black stones on the Casselman River in Maryland. Thanks

I started tying up some collins electric stonefly. You can find it on youtube. I am in Northern NJ. I learned how to fly fish on the Casselman when i was a student at WVU 20 years ago. I still go back to fish the Savage, it is one of my favorite rivers. I have been tying then in a size 16, i rarely get topwater action on them when they are hatching.

That seems to be true. I am tying up a mess of black pheasant tail nymphs in hopes of starting the season right. The problem here is the hatch generally happens when the river is (mostly) still frozen over. I see the little buggers on the snow but can't find much water to fish in....
