easy stonefly pattern?
 

Hey,
There is a great pattern in "Angler". I'm at my office and can't quote
the date of the mag, but it was a couple of months ago. He goes a quick
from memory description of the pattern. Bead head and nontoxic wire of
your choice. Sili legs tied in the rear for the tail( I use black but
color is up to you). Rib copper wire or other according to your
preference. Dub body with Hare's ear type dubbing( I use "haretron"
black). Here's the trick. Use six stands of the sili legs tied in for
the wing case. Sorry forgot to tell you to rib it before you tie in the
wing case. Now dub thorax(I like black ice dub). Now pull the sili legs
over for the wing case. Tie down then separate the legs three to a side
and tie off so they stream to the rear and down. Voila, stone fly nymph.
You can vary this by weaving the body( l like a wire weave over a
diamond braid base). Can use four sili legs for the case for micro
stones. I also like to put a bit of super glue on the case to give it
some shine. Sorry for the clumsy description, but does make an easy and
quick tie. Toodles,Frogge.
