Guest bigbadbrent Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bigbadbrent Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 and my inspiration (though not my picture, the ones i've found on the highwood and oldman are almost black) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonefisher Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 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.
