PATT’S STONE PEACOCK

Description

Patt’s Stone Peacock – Heavy Stonefly Nymph

The Patt’s Stone Peacock is a proven variation of the classic Pat’s Rubberlegs stonefly nymph, designed with peacock dubbing for added flash and natural sheen. This combination creates a buggy, lifelike pattern that not only imitates stonefly nymphs but also serves as an excellent attractor in a wide range of conditions. With its durable build and heavy profile, the fishing flies sink quickly and stay in the strike zone, making it a favorite for anglers targeting large trout in strong currents.

Design / Features

This nymph is tied with a peacock-dubbed body that provides iridescence and depth, along with rubber legs that kick and pulse naturally in moving water. The darker profile closely matches natural stoneflies, while the peacock accents add a subtle glimmer that draws attention from trout. Built to withstand rough water, the Patt’s Stone Peacock strikes a balance between durability, weight, and realism.

When and Where to Use

The Patt’s Stone Peacock excels in freestone rivers, tailwaters, and mountain streams with substantial stonefly populations. It is especially effective in late spring and early summer during major stonefly migrations, but remains productive year-round as a searching nymph. Fished under an indicator, Euro-style, or dead-drifted through riffles and deep runs, this pattern consistently puts fish in the net.
