My Stoneclinger

[Guest bigbadbrent]

Here's my stoneclinger nymph that i tied up a few weeks ago, and finally got to put to use, and it works..very, very well...

 

You'll see the obvious influences of evil weevils, brent bugs and pheasants in this fly

 

Brent's Stoneclinger

Size 14 pupa hook

Tail : pheasant tail, try to split into 3

Body: Brown hares ear dubbing, pheasant pulled over. Back ends of biot tied in backwards, then reversed and tied in again to give you the segmented back abdomen

Rib : Gold / bronze

Legs : 4 - 6 biots, brown

and my inspiration (though not my picture, the ones i've found on the highwood and oldman are almost black)

not to nitpick an obviously awesome fly but a bit of dark yellow or mottled brown raffia on the abdomen would be wicked. None the less I may have to try and tie up a couple of those myself. Just trying to undersatand the biots on the body but I think I get the gist of it.
