Pros: This winter I found the time to get up to Northern California several times to chase some steelhead, but unlike last year the bite was tough until I zeroed in on this Brown, Rubber Legged Stonefly Nymph.
In winter, the fish often key in on small stones and this year they seemed to show a decided preference for the brown stone rather than the Golden Stone that's been my go to fly for the past few seasons.
Once I put this rascal on it was like flipping a switch and the bite was ON! |

Cons: Not too many cons in this case other than it took me a while to figure out that this was what the fish were keying on. |

Other Thoughts: Where regulations permit, it might be worth tying this brown stone on w/ a Golden Stone or a small black stonefly as a searching rig in order to figure out which bugs the fish are keying in on. I look forward to trying this fly in a few more places to see if I can replicate the great action I had on it this winter.
Thanks again for stocking so many effective patterns! |
