Conditions

clear water, current, rocky

Field Notes

A stonefly nymph pattern for Western rivers, especially when skwalas are active and trout are feeding subsurface. Fish it dead-drifted near the bottom along rocky runs, seams, and riffles where stoneflies are likely to be present.

Pros

  • Effective stonefly imitation for Rocky Mountain waters
  • Good choice for subsurface trout feeding
  • Natural profile for drifting in riffles and seams

Cons

  • Not a good choice when fish are keyed to smaller insects
  • May require careful depth control to stay near the bottom
