greatbigdiddy Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 My daughter River stuffed my stocking this past Christmas with a 20 piece stonefly life cycle kit from Bass Pro. I'm not sure about any of these patterns but I am hoping they will bring me a few nice trout this summer so I can tell her that her special flies worked for me. Any thoughts on some of these patterns and opinions on whether they will fish well for me would be much appreciated. Cheers!! Diddy. Quote

murray Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 I think your daughter picked out a good set of flies. Every one of them should work well. Your little girl has a good eye for bugs. Murray 1 Quote

troutlover Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 The dark ones will work great right now or in a couple weeks depending on water temps. The yellow or orange ones will work great late June early July especially if you dip them in the crow. The dries will work to imitate lots of types of bugs for dry stones my favorite patterns are the ones that have a low hanging abdomen where the body hangs below the surface and I gink only the hair to keep things afloat. Also if your fishing it as a stone take a black marker and color just the tip of the butt black. 2 Quote
