Anybody have a favourite dry stonefly pattern they would like to share.
I happen to love a Mikulak sedge tied on a long shank hook.
When I was guiding up on the Babine it was, and still is, the bomb.
Although up there you will hear it called "The Freddie"
Great for steelhead as well.
My favourite colours are rear 2/3 fiery brown front 1/3 sulphury yellow.
" " " " " " Salmon Orange.
Another good one is a heather mixture, olive
orange
brown
yellow
Sometimes a bit of red is good as well.
I almost always use a natural brown saddle. Furnace would be # 2.
