This fly matches the real stonefly perfectly. I’ve used it on several trout streams and caught multiple fish with it. It’s a reliable pattern that works in both still and moving water.
Alison Hamilton –
Will Dornan’s design is spot-on. The weight and shape make it float naturally and it’s easy to tie. I’ve seen it used by professional guides and it’s become my go-to for spring fishing.
Dominic Stewart –
Great imitation, especially in clear water. It’s a bit heavy for some conditions, but overall it performs well and catches fish consistently.
