CDC Stonefly 2.0
The CDC Stonefly 2.0 is an almost perfect imitation of a large stonefly by Gerhard Laible. These insects are only found in very clear and cold waters. Fishing with these fly patterns is often spectacular! The pattern has wings on deer hair and CDC fibers. A high floating foam is incorporated into the head. This makes this fly pattern very good for “active” fishing. When the fish have adjusted to large stoneflies, they often take these patterns with great vehemence. We recommend treating the fly with Nev-R-Sink before first use. This makes the fly swim significantly longer. Important with this pattern is the application: fish this pattern very actively!
Swisher's Foam PMX (Gold)
The Foam PMX is an excellent Stonefly Fly pattern to fish all year long.
October Caddis Adult
This is a light landing high floating pattern that has a low profile “skate plate” to keep it up under tension.

King Wedgewing (Isonychia) (6 pcs)
Unique Mayfly Adult. It’s amazing that after centuries of creative fly tying, most mayfly dun imitations look nothing like the natural. Mayflies have skinny, tapered bodies and a sailboat wing that angles back, in line with the body, like a wedge. It took Jonny King two decades a fiddling, fussing and frustration to figure out how to create that exact wedgewing profile using staple tying materials, like hackle, synthetic yarn and CDC, in a unique construction. The Wedgewing is so close to the natural that you may have trouble distinguishing your fly from the real BWOs and PMDs that float alongside it, but the trout consistently pick it out. Recent conquests include some outsized bankfeeders on the Delaware that refused dozens of other patterns, and sneaky sippers that ignored other mayfly imitations on western tailwaters. Content: 6 pcs

Juicy Stone (golden) (6 pcs)
Juicy Stone pushes the boundaries of a realistic fly that is very fishable. The fishability of this pattern was the first consideration. The hook is heavy and helps the fly land correctly. The biot tails are secured inside the foam for added durability. The antennae are placed well above the hook eye which helps keep it out of the tippet. The wings shed water and offer good translucency. The bonus is that the body colors, the body dimensions, and legs and antennae placements are spot on to the real thing. You're going to wish stonefly season was longer. Content: 6 pcs
Morningwood Stone (Salmon Fly)
A large and good floating Stonefly pattern.
Flutter Bug (golden)
Eric Paulson out of Livingston decided there was a need for a different kind of Stonefly. Typically, when you see a big stonefly fluttering across the water their wings are coming untucked as they struggle to make it to the bank. This fly is a hot mess of goodness for tricking trout into taking big stoneflies off the surface. This fly fishes great solo and works great to hold up big nymphs hung behind this dry. When other stonefly imitations are not getting it done, the Flutter Bug will surely seal the deal with its unique style.
CDC Stonefly
Große Steinfliegen, wie die Arten der Gattungen Perla, Perlodes oder Dinocras, kommen nicht in allen Gewässern vor. Wo sie aber in relevanten Zahlen leben, bringt ihre Schwarmzeit im Frühsommer ganz ausgezeichnete Fischerei. Denn diese großen Insekten locken auch steigfaule Kapitale an die Oberfläche. So ist diese CDC zwar ein spezielleres Muster, das aber an vielen, schneller fließenden Flüssen im Alpenraum beste Einsatzbereiche findet. Alle Steinfliegen schlüpfen außerhalb des Wassers an Gestein, Schwemmholz, Pfählen, Mauern usw. Sie sind den Fischen als Emerger nur ausnahms- weise verfügbar. Erst wenn sie bei ihren gelegentlichen, immer behäbigen Schwirrflügen aufs Wasser geraten, werden sie fischereilich interessant. Vor allem aber, wenn die großen Weibchen zur Eiablage auf das Wasser zurückkehren, unübersehbar dicht über die Strömung flattern und sich immer wieder darauf niederlassen, um portionsweise ihre Eier abzulegen. Bei der für diese CDC-Stonefly-Imitation notwendigen Größe wurde vor allem auf größtmögliche Leichtigkeit geachtet. Für den deutlich segmentierten Körper kam nur ein langschenkliger, relativ feindrahtiger Haken in Frage. In Verbindung mit V-förmig gespreizten Deerhair-Bunchflügeln und einer CDC-Deckfeder bringt diese Bindeweise die notwendige Funktionalität: Das Muster ist drallfrei zu werfen und schwimmt gut. Und es hat eine glaubhafte Kontur. Einsatzbereiche sind alle Gewässerpartien, an denen die großen Stein- fliegen zu beobachten sind. Gefischt wird die CDC-Fluttering Stonefly wie ein Hopper. Man läßt sie, unterbrochen von ruhigen Driftphasen, über die Oberfläche schlittern.
