I saw russ tie a couple of years ago. I've never seen anyone tie flies like that.

Would be a cool seminar to see.

When do the stones usually start?

[CPs]

Hi Jbort,

To kind of keep it simple and short, on the Bow a general pattern of Stonefly emergence goes as follows:

(Keep in mind that if winter keeps hanging on these times might be later, but these are in an average year)

 

Mid-April - Early Black Stonefly (Little guys that I've never seen the fish do much with)

Mid-May - Skwalas (these can be good) nad Sallys (another little guys, only light colored, that the fish never seem to eat)

Late June/Early July - Golden Stones (This is the one evryone talks about)

There are a few Salmonflies (very large species of stonefly) on the Bow but not really enough to make an impact

like some of the other species.

 

Hope this helps,

Mike Gifford
