Description

Micro Stone Bead Head is a downsized version of the classic stonefly nymph—designed for technical trout water where small, natural patterns make all the difference. Tied with a slim, segmented body, fine rubber legs, and a subtle thorax, this pattern delivers a lifelike stonefly profile in a smaller, more subtle silhouette.

The addition of a brass or tungsten bead head gives it weight for a quick drop into the strike zone, making it an excellent choice for Euro nymphing, tight-line presentations, or traditional indicator setups in deep seams and pocket water.

This pattern is especially effective in winter, early spring, or post-runoff, when immature stoneflies are drifting in the current and trout are less willing to chase larger or flashier offerings. It’s also a great choice in clear water where a full-size stonefly might spook wary fish.

Whether you’re targeting deep tailouts or riffle-fed glides, the Micro Stone Bead Head offers realism, subtle movement, and the ability to get where the fish are feeding. A smart anchor fly or stealthy alternative when trout are feeding low and slow.
