Field Notes

Use this stonefly imitation early in the season when trout are feeding on larger aquatic insects. It is a good choice in cold water and can be drifted dead-drift near the bottom in rivers and streams.

Pros

  • Matches early-season stonefly activity
  • Good trout food imitation
  • Effective for dead-drift presentations

Cons

  • Less useful when stoneflies are not present
  • Can be too large or specific for very selective fish
