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.Tom, I haven’t tied a woven stonefly in eighteen years. So, kind of a first pass. I was inspired by Cowlitz Bottomfeeders recent post.
Should be a bit longer and perhaps slightly shorter tail. Based on Jim Garrett’s Olympic Stonefly. I used to fish them with success in the Sol Duc R. I’ll try a few more. Tx.View attachment 96805
