How To Tie A Killer Stonefly - Easily

[urbanflyman36]

exellent looking fly .

[DrDave244]

I'm an entomologist... and that is one great looking stonefly! Great job.

[md50md]

great fly: How wide did you cut your thinskin? and what size do you recomend for your fly? Thanks

[caldbecksthatride]

Amazing golden stone you got there, nice job. One question, do you mix your own dubbing with the rubber legs? Or is a product I can buy somewhere?

[Fisherboy86]

@caldbecksthatride You can buy dubbing with rubber legs in it, but to get the color you want (dubbing AND legs), chances are that you will have to mix it.

[MrJWishart]

Man, That is truly amazing. Awesome job, keep it up! I'm sure I'm not only speaking for myself when I say, I'd love to see even more video's like this on some other of your patterns! Steller work on that fly bro.

nice

[LordDigz12]

I tie mine pretty similar except I use black wire instead of thread just to protect against fraying from fishy teeth, lead the under fly different and I also dont dub as thick. Our goldens around here probably just have different proportions and are a bit slimmer. Also ours arent quite so bright, more of a drabber color.

[goga56]

looks like a bee lol

[Zoth77]

Looks great but I wouldn't say it can be tied "easily." it would take me 2 hours to do that. lol

[cookman283]

Hah, well there ya go, heres a skill i never knew existed!!!

You learn something new every day.

Very impressive!

[hockeykidd31]

omfg, amazing pattern, hell of a fly! What streams in PA do you fish becuase i work with USA youth team at fishermans paradise and in state college on Fishing Creek. This fly seems large for trout though, have you ever spooked fish in slower water with it? Awesome pattern though and nice video.

She's a big fat mama !

[zenbooter]

yep,,nice fly,,the skin is the stuf,,i use it for scuds,works when all else fails

[edpleasure]

You keep tying, I will keep fishing. I'll take a half dozen. Bill me.

[Bigdse3]

That's the best looking stone fly I have ever seen, I can't wait to be give it a shot in the rivers here in Washington.

[TotallyFlyTying]

Great video mate!

Awesome loking fly.

Check out my Fly Tying Videos if you have time!

Cheers and TightLines,

[akruter]

dude rocking stone. love the variation that you throw into it. had much luck with it?

[Fisherboy86]

@akruter Thanks. It's the only stonefly you need to slaughter trout. Last Summer a buddy and I hooked 20 trout from 18"-27" in one afternoon on this fly. And in Central Pa, that is unheard of.



[montanahunter42]

this is one of the best stoneflies ive seen great job

[Autzenduck]

Nice bug !

[tromboneJTS]

Looks very realistic, but the fish must think its a jaw breaker with all that lead.

[kbbgood]

Very good fly. What color thin skin did you use?

[Fisherboy86]

@kbbgood Mottled Yellow.

[ButteredBisquit]

Nice bug. Just starting to tie my own and I doubt I'm able. I'll give it hell though.

[damir623]

[norboy2k]

Best fly on youtube! great vid!!

[OutdoorExpeditions]

holy crap, i thought my stoneflies rocked, this makes mine look like a midge! i am heading to Gander Mountain right now, to get materials!

[Fisherboy86]

Thanks man. A 3.5mm tungsten bead at the front and a lightly dubbed thorax makes for a murderous anchor fly for czech nymphing.

[Goodlapse]

Outstanding Bug! Hey who plays the tune?

[Fisherboy86]

Thanks. The song is by Story of the Year. I believe it is called "Her Bedroom" or "In Her Bedroom"

[westhuntfish]

This fly is a beauty...it's alot like the one I tie but a much, much better pattern ! Thank you for posting it . I'll be busy tonight tying up a few dozen of these !!!

[Russelljmagyar]

go EAGLES......nice throw back jersey....awsome lookling fly....buggier the better

[Trailsthatflow]

supper nice fly, would be cool if u used about 1/4 of the dubbing u used but still very very cool

[dankobie]

fuckin nice bug ;) which hook size u use?

[Fisherboy86]

Thanks man. I prefer the Tiemco curved nymph hooks (200R ???) in #4-#12.  #6 and #10 consist of about 90% of the selection in my box. These two sizes best imitate the 1 and 2 year old stoneflies here in Central Pa.

[3triplexxx]

Nice bug. I never saw them so fuzzy. It looks like something my cat hacked up. It would be a shame to lose this one on the bottom on the first cast.

[Fisherboy86]

Thanks. In my theory, the heavily dubbed thorax with fine, FINE rubber legs, helps give the illusion of movement from the stonefly's legs as it swims in the current after being dislodged from a rock or swimming towards shore. If anything else, it will give some translucency to the fly in relation to the gills under the thorax. ??? Who knows, but the fish love it. Never fished on anything less than 3x ;-) And usually tied with a tungsten bead for added weight in heavy current.

[Fisherboy86]

Thanks for the comments guys.

[bassproflyman]

Son....you got yourself one mighty good looking stone. Great Job! I'll be tying this one regularly.

[poolman131]

That's beautiful

[1BurtonBoy1]

Awesome looking stonefly. Seems a bit time consuming but well worth it. Where do you get that thin skin?

[Fisherboy86]

Most self respecting fly shops carry it. I recommend the Mottled Bustard and Mottled Yellow for the Golden/Brown Stoneflies.

[xyberfunk]

nice.. demo in the fish tank plz :-)
