Can we get a recipe? Or maybe an SBS 
Sure! Middle fly is my favorite.Can we get a recipe? Or maybe an SBS
Hook: Mustad classic larva, (ideally from discount rack on SE 82nd, with Terrible Barb.)
Tail: macrame poly yarn, like Clark’s, burnt
Wing: calf, ala Norm Woods
Body: medium cactus chenille, 1.5 turns.
Hackle: grizzly saddle, palmered, 2.5 turns.
Bronzer: Sharpie, aggressive.
Like a Renegade-headed Clark’s Stone (both GOT flies.) A big crappy hook and just the right crappy hen hackle puts this baby low in the water. Cactus chenille looks good with the grizz, a spritzed-up Adam’s. Might be a better silhouette than Clark’s, which is heresy but, still possibly true. Outlaw Country fly name: “Fairly Sound Stone” is current leader but originally “Package Show in Buffalo”, from Willie’s classic Me and Paul.
Scruffy and fun even when tied sober, which suits both my needs and my skills.
But everybody has ugly stoneflies of their own, I’m sure. Who else has stray dogs named after country songs? Let’s see ‘em.
I like it. I like em scruffy, like a Fran Betters stimulator, if I can find the pic I saved.
This one?
