Field Notes

Use this stonefly nymph imitation when trout are feeding near the bottom, especially in rivers and streams with good current. It is well suited to dead-drifting, nymphing, or high-stick presentations where a weighted fly helps get down quickly.

Pros

  • Weighted tungsten head helps it sink fast
  • Effective stonefly profile for trout
  • Good for getting down in current

Cons

  • Not ideal for surface feeding fish
  • Can snag more easily when fished deep near structure
