This is my standard little brown stonefly imitation. It's never not on my leader between mid-February and late March.

Bob - Thank you for sharing one of your tried & true fishing patterns. That's a terrific fly.

What size range do you recommend?

14 for little brown stones. I'll sometimes tie it in a 12 for Iso's.

Certainly a fish catcher. Great job! It's very natural looking and that's what I like most about it.
