Madistone – Pink
The Madistone is a great pattern from Madison Losee, the manager of our Idaho Jimmy’s shop.
“The low-profile silhouette rides flush in the film, ideal for fooling even the most stubborn of trout. Floats well with a foam body, has a super fluttery CDC and poly wing combo, and a carefully selected hook that helps the fly land and ride correctly every time. This fly has great movement on the water, and superior “twitch-ability”. Overall, this pattern has become one of my go-tos when stoneflies are on the menu.”

Sebastian McLean –
I’ve used the Madistone – Pink on several stonefly days and it consistently catches trout. The fluttery CDC and poly wing make it move naturally in the water. It lands smoothly and stays on the surface well. A reliable pattern for when stoneflies are active.
Ruth Knox –
This fly is exactly what I needed for a recent trip to a cold, clear stream. The low profile helps it stay flush in the film, and the twitch-ability is outstanding. I caught several fish with it in a single session.

The Madistone – Pink performs well in the water and matches the stonefly pattern well. A bit more expensive than other options, but the quality and performance justify the price.
