Can the fly be used for species other than trout?
Yes, it is suitable for other freshwater species that feed on stonefly nymphs.

This fly performs well in fast-moving rivers. The chenille tail moves naturally and trout are consistently taking it. The heavy bead helps it stay on the surface and avoid snagging.
Melanie Roberts –
Great imitation of stonefly nymphs. I tied it on a 4x jig hook and saw good results during early morning drifts. A bit bulky, but effective in current.
Carl McLean –
Used it in a river with golden stonefly habitat. Trout reacted immediately. The point-up design kept it from getting caught on rocks and improved hook-up rate.

The movement is realistic, but the weight might be too heavy for some stream conditions. Works well in strong current, though.
