This fly moves naturally in the water and imitates the real stonefly nymph well. I’ve used it in clear streams and seen trout take it consistently. The bead head adds good weight without making it sink too fast.

Great detail and realistic movement. Works well in fast currents. The legs wobble just like a real nymph, which makes a big difference in catch rates.

Highly recommended for bottom fishing. The fly stays on the bottom and doesn’t float. Trout are responding well, especially in early spring when stoneflies are active.
