Golden Simplex Stonefly Nymph

[RCream]

Does anybody have pictures of the Golden Simplex Stonefly Nymph? I have a pattern but would like to see it to make sure it is what I'm thinking of. Thanks.

hmmm i dont think I am able to view the right page in the link because I dont have google email?

[peregrines]

hmmm.... I had problems too going through the link today, but had no problems going through google, or through the link last night.

It popped right up. Go to Google and type in
"simplex stonefly nymph".

Hit search button on google and the third entry that pops up is:
Fish Flies: Encyclopedia of the Fly Tyers Art -Google Book Review

If you click on the hyperlink it should take you directly to page 287 where there's a picture of the nymph and tying ingredients as part of google's book review of Fish Flies.


As a back up plan, here's the pattern for the Golden Stone Simplex Nymph, but note there are other "flavors" of simplex nymphs besides the golden stone:
