Speculator – RIO
Before stoneflies hatch, the nymphs make their way towards dry land. As they move around they get dislodged from the rocks and tumble and swim. This pattern is a great representation for a swimming, struggling stonefly nymph, and can be fished dead drifted, or swung in back eddies.

This fly worked well in a fast-moving stream. I used it during a morning drift and saw several fish take it. The action mimicked the real nymphs perfectly.
Liam MacLeod –
Fished it in a rocky section with current. The movement when swung in eddies was natural and attracted fish consistently.
Sam Ball –
Great detail on the body and tail. It stayed on the water well and didn’t break easily even after repeated casts.
