STONEFLY BLACK

Description

Stonefly Black – a classic stonefly nymph built for depth and durability

The Stonefly Black is a traditional and highly effective nymph pattern that imitates large black stoneflies—an important food source for trout in many rivers. With its heavy build and natural profile, these fly fishing flies get down fast and hold in the strike zone, making it ideal for pocket water, riffles, and deep runs where trout feed.

Design / Features

The Stonefly Black features a durable black body, biot tail, and buggy thorax for a lifelike stonefly silhouette. Its weighted design allows it to sink quickly and track naturally in heavy current. The subtle flash and natural movement make it a top choice for anglers targeting big, bottom-hugging trout. Tied on a strong hook, it’s built to withstand aggressive takes and powerful fights.

When & Where to Use

The Stonefly Black excels in freestones, tailwaters, and larger rivers, particularly during spring and early summer stonefly activity. Fish it as a point fly in Euro-nymphing setups or under an indicator to target trout feeding deep. It’s also highly effective year-round as a searching pattern in fast, rocky water.
