Conor Posted November 27, 2008 Share Posted November 27, 2008 Here is one that is creative in its simplicity. The dumbell eyes might be a bit unique to a stonefly pattern, as well. I don't think I have seen that before. I call it the bug-eyed stone. Materials are obvious and substitutable. Image hosting isn't woring for me, so here is a link to a thread I posted on the pattern: http://flyfishcalgary.com/board/index.php?showtopic=6141 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
