It is that time of year when the trout can be transitioning in to bigger bugs. Especially Stone Nymphs

Fabulous job Wayne. Biots or not, that is a terrific pattern.

I’m happy for your success. ;)

I am working on a Golden Stone pattern as well. I am looking for a pattern that is better than my standard Guides Choice SH. I have tied many patterns with D-rib and Dubbing to imitate the Golden Stone. Most worked satisfactorily, at times, but nothing that knocked my socks off.

I am mimicking a pattern by Piotr Soltysik. Here is a link to his pattern.

I am working on the proportions I like, along with the material colors I want to use. These two will be fished, and I am sure with success. To what degree that success is remains to be seen. They will be fished in tandem with a Guides Choice Soft Hackle, so we will see.

They are both size 10 on a Mustad 79580 hook.
