stone fly SBS
hello guys,
i apologize for the last attempt at this.... in my defense, my computer puffed magic white smoke that day... anyway, new computer, second attempt....
here is what you'll need:
hook: flip rocks, decide what is best for your needs
weight: several wraps of lead
thread: black, i like heavier thread for nymphs
head: gold tungsten bead
tail and legs: black goose biot
abdomen: black wire
thorax: hairline black dubbing
wing case: pheasant tail died black
ok, lets get started....
place your bead on hook, make several wraps with the lead, i usually goto about where i want the abdomen to end...

next, start your thread, capture and cover the lead, place two biots on either side of the hook, i try to keep a nice arching shape following the hook..

tie in your wire, thicken up the body if desired, just remember to have a slight taper from the mid point...

wrap the wire forward, notice i stopped about the hook tip, conveniently enough, that where the lead stops...

tie in your second set of biots, i try and get the tips even with the bottom on the hook eye.. probably not important to do, im just nuts i guess!

part two....
now its time to tie in the pheasant tail, tie them tips in, otherwise it seems the second wing case is too skimpy....
http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/a...id=11995&stc=1
apply some dubbing, make sure you don't go all the way to the bead, leave enough room for the second wing case...
http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/a...id=11996&stc=1
pull the pheasant tail forward to create the first wing case, i like to leave it kind of loose, this makes more of a bubble vs. super tight to to body....

ok, now its time for the last set of biots, the dubbing helps flare them out a little further then the rest, makes for a great profile...
http://www.flyanglersonline.com/bb/a...id=11998&stc=1
apply more dubbing, pull the pheasant tail forward once more, remember to keep it kind of loose, you should have to nice humps...

stay tuned....

Nice; a variation on Tim Wade's North Fork Special. The wire abdomen should get it down in a hurry. Thanks for the sbs.
Regards,
Scott
