In all the tying I've done in the last month (and that's no small amount I should say) this is the one I'm looking forward to using the most. With a layer of .025" dia lead and a second layer of 0.015" this fly may end up simply being an funny-looking piece of weight to sink other flies with... but I hope it will move a few trout:
I decided to tie these up after seeing Justin catch a 25" brown trout on a nondescript caddis dropper under one of Justin's big sparkly stonefly nymphs. I also tied some in black, black with an orange bead, and in 20 incher colors (green/blue & grey).

@Brian love the color those rubber legs add a can't resist touch only 1 question do they come with a safety warning hard hat and goggles please.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful little stone! Great profile and lots of tiggers.... This one should fish and fish well!
ReplyDeleteBrain, those flies are freakin' sick! How about a tutorial or atleast the recipe. I don't think you will have much problem logging those in a fat piggy piggy. Are those 30 minute or 45 minute flies?
ReplyDeleteThanks Mike! I'll post the recipe if it happens to be a successful fly -- and no, it doesn't quite take that long to tie these guys... but close
ReplyDeleteGreat lookin' stone pattern!
