Those stoneflies are fantastic.

My woven flies look terrible. Here's a very simple Simulator stonefly I used to match some big stones back east that were black with bits of yellow. Underbody color can be changed, of course.
Streamer hook with 11 wraps of heavy nonlead wire, yellow floss or yarn underbody, wire rib, peacock tail and body wrapped opposite (toward me) so the wire rib will counterwrap it later and letting the underbody yarn peek through, black bugger feather tied in at head and wrapped back, wire wrapped forward binding down hackle and herl, trim hackle. It is very durable and fishes better after it gets chewed up some.
