Stone Fly

[young_one]

For the next few days before and after the trout opener, the water condition will most likely be very clear. My ultimate goal for stealheading is trying to avoid using fish roe completely. So I decided to tie some natural/realistic looking flies, I started with stone fly.

 

Speil inspired, but I think mine looks more like a crossbreed between a crayfish and a scorpion

 

And hopefully I can fool steelheads like this one with my new creations

Nice ties man! What'd ya use for the legs?

 

Those should be good for resident trout as well, if you fish for those too!

thats a nice fish.

Very impressive young_one. I'm guessing your legs are raffia or swiss straw tied and trimmed, thats a lot of work but they make an awesome realistic looking fly fly. I hope they work well for you.
