Description

This Gypsy King, Variant-Stone fly uses a simple but very effective approach of tieing hackle over the top of the foam body to give the fly CRAZY ACTION when viewed from underneath. It makes a deadly Stonefly, Hopper, Cricket, and about 100 other tasty treats. We love to fish the Gypsy King for a lot of different applications. It is a unique fly and it just seems to "get 'em!"

Field Notes

A buoyant foam terrestrial-style fly for fishing over riffles, seams, and pocket water when trout are looking up. It works well as a hopper or stonefly imitation and can be drifted dead-drift or skated slightly for extra movement.

Pros

  • Buoyant foam body helps it float well
  • Hackle adds lively surface action
  • Versatile terrestrial/stonefly profile

Cons

  • Can be hard to see in low light
  • May be too large or flashy for very selective fish
