This stonefly nymph pattern mixes realism, weight, and flash to achieve a balanced and effective fly. The golden pheasant legs add the hint of realistic legs and dress up the pattern. Fish in faster freestone rivers with good populations of stonefly nymphs. Can be tied on straight shanked hooks as well as curved. In smaller sizes it mimics the nymph of the little yellow stoneflies found in the streams of the Black Hills.

hans, stones only curl like that when you hold them in your hand, you will even better success with your fly, if you tied it with its abdomen up or just tie it straight. Give it a go. Nice tie by the way.
