Description

Stonefly imitations tend to be big and blocky, even when the bug itself is streamlined and subtle. The Staggered Stone takes a different approach, and closely resembles the orderly appearance and subtle colors of smaller stoneflies like Yellow Sallies. You lose nothing in floatability or visibility, while giving the fish a realistic alternative they can't resist.

Field Notes

A realistic stonefly imitation for trout fishing when fish are keying on adult stoneflies or Yellow Sally-type bugs. Best presented dead-drift on the surface near riffles, seams, and banks where naturals are likely to fall into the water.

Pros

  • Realistic smaller stonefly profile
  • High floatability
  • Good visibility for tracking on the water

Cons

  • May be less effective when fish are focused on subsurface insects
  • Surface presentation can be affected by heavy chop or wind
