A Brooks stonefly is an excellent simple-to-tie pattern:

The pattern pictured is for a salmonfly nymph. For a golden
stone, use tan or orange thread, light brown goose biots for the
tail, golden yellow wool yarn for the body. The legs can be
brown and grizzly or ginger and grizzly. After wrapping the
hackle, you can also wrap white or light grey ostrich herl at the
the base of the wound hackle, to imitate gills.

Weight the body of a 3X long hook with lead wire. Tie in gold or brown
rubber legs to the front and rear for the pinchers and tail. Tie in
gold and brown variegated chenille at the back, wrap forward to the
2/3rd point, tie in rubber legs madam X style at this point, then wrap
the chenille the rest of the way. Takes about 2 minutes and makes a
real nice golden stone that you're not afraid of loosing. Substitute
all colors for black or brown and make a black or brown stonefly nymph.

I've seen Frank weight a hook. Just make sure you can lift it when
you're done.

I tie ONE fly for specific, high-water conditions and all I do is catch
grief for it. By the way, it worked like a charm so I guess you all
are just jealous. :-)

Guess you like it deep, down and dirty as some unknown steelheader in BC
once told me ...
The pattern looks nice to me!
