Stonefly Nymph

With 10 families and 465 species of stoneflies crowding our North American waters, sometimes it is nice to just have a go-to pattern that can be used to match more bugs with fewer flies. The Stonefly Nymph pattern is the quintessential nymph pattern for matching this favorite trout food. Lead wrapped, and tied in a number of colors and sizes, the Stonefly Nymph incorporates all of the key elements of the natural nymph and allows the angler to cover more waters, species, and seasons with just one fly pattern.
